Sealing Wax Palm is probably the most beautiful of all palms. Adorned with
pretty looking leaves, it develops a brilliantly red trunk. Palm is
originally from Malaysia, and is cultivated throughout the tropical world.
Leaves are feather-like, pinnate with very narrow and long leaflets. The
leaf-stalks are of a bright scarlet red, the colour of red sealing wax,
which is where the palm gets its common name. Sealing Wax Palm has a
clustering habit.
