Ripe red Palm seeds - a photo on Flickriver

The adonidia palm - often called "Christmas Palm" - is a showy, highly ornamental palm that works beautifully in small landscape areas. The adonidia is easy care...it's self-cleaning, meaning the spent fronds just fall off by themselves, a big low-maintenance plus. And they are pretty much pest-free.

As it matures, the adonidia blooms with white flowers and red berries (seeds) around Christmastime. It looks like a miniature royal palm, with its green crown shaft, gray trunk and long full fronds. Christmas palms make good focal points in small tropical gardens. When taller and more mature, they can become an elegant statement palm.

A recent concern for this palm as been cold weather.
In the winter of 2009-2010, record cold temperatures lasting for hours over several weeks' time took their toll on this pretty little palm (and many other plants as well) throughout South Florida.
