Nannorrhops come from Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Arabia. This palm
is very slow growing and can take hot desert conditions as well as snow storms. This is a
clustering palm and each stem will die after the flower has produced seed and then the
palm will produce a new leaf. This is a palm
the should be in every garden.
