It is a slow growing palm, which can grow to a height of fifty feet or more. The palm has a large crown with 40-50 large fronds of size up to 18 feet and 80-100 leaflets. The trunk can be up to four feet wide. The palm has small cream colored flowers, and yellow fruits /dates which are half inch wide.
