Solitaire palm is native to eastern Queensland, Australia where it occurs in coastal rainforests. It prefers full sun to partial shade and can reach heights of 20 feet. Inflorescences produce white male and female flowers. Fruits are bright red, about one inch in diameter, and egg shaped. All members of this genus are considered to be moderately to highly allergenic. The solitaire palm is a good specimen to use in small residential yards because it does not require much growing space. It exhibits fair growth in well-drained soils but grows best in more organic, nutrient-laden soils. While this palm needs little maintenance, it does require regular watering. Many choose to plant this palm in multiples of varying heights to create a fuller effect and a more interesting silhouette. https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/fr313
