Zombia antillarum

An incredibly unique palm, the Zombi is clumping and palmate, with a trunk adorned with needle-like spines. These trunks remain slender and are said to be the source of voodoo needles throughout Hispaniola, historically. Its bright white fruits were historically pressed for juice and oil, for medicinal and ceremonial purposes as well. It will likely reach a height no greater than 15-18 feet overall and is a one of a kind statement in any tropical landscape.
