Livistona is a wide ranging genus of fan-leafed palms with about 30 species distributed from northern Africa through India, China, Southeast Asia, Australia, Japan and Indonesia. Many of these palms have an excellent tolerance to cold and frost. Although most varieties enjoy moisture they are also fairly drought tolerant when established. Their long, smooth trunks flare attractively at the base and carry gracefully weeping crowns of foliage making Livistona especially impressive for streets and gardens.
