Ravenea musicalis - Torendriky-Palme
€19.90
Tax included
This palm was only discovered and described in 1993 in southern Madagascar and, as the only true water palm, was a real sensation in the scientific community. Ravenea musicalis begins its growth in shallow, flowing water and eventually develops a thick, gray trunk. Collecting the seeds is problematic because they begin to germinate while still in the fruit and therefore rot very quickly if not cleaned immediately after collection. The trunks are sometimes felled to build canoes on site. At the only known location of this palm, around 450 trees have been sighted. The population is declining. Cultivation can take place both outside of water and in an aquarium. My own experience has shown that it prefers moving water.
In one picture you can see Ravenea musicalis seedlings of about 10 cm in my Tanganyika aquarium.
