	Nikau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nikau (Rhopalostylis sapida) is a palm tree endemic to New Zealand.
		The Nikau, New Zealand's only native palm, grows in temperate, lowland areas of New Zealand.
		Nikau palms are a New Zealand icon and easily recognised by many New Zealanders, though are uncommon in planted gardens due to their slow growth rate and difficulty in transplanting.

	The Nikau Gallery Photo Gallery by Tanetahi at pbase.com
		The nikau is New Zealand's only native palm, and the world's southernmost palm species; its natural distribution on the mainland of New Zealand currently ends at Banks Peninsula near Christchurch on the east coast of South Island.
		The nikau is common in bush reserves in the upper North Island and round much of the island's coast, extending halfway down the east and west coast of South Island.
		Nikaus are much depicted in landscape paintings by New Zealand artists.

	Nikau: the Kiwi palm
		The nikau palms which line the river’s banks may have been part of a cargo of plants and animals from the Malayo-Pacific region that began arriving in New Zealand when dinosaurs were still chasing each other up and down what is today Queen Street.
		It is rare to find northern nikau growing out in the open, but, wind-lashed and sun-scorched, the cousins from down south will hang on for generations in farm paddocks long after any sheltering forest canopy has faded from living memory.
		Municipal plantings of nikau have been slower to catch on, but a new generation of landscape designers is committed to raising the profile of our native palm at street level.

	Ewen's garden: Nikau: stalwart of the south
		So now with its botanical identity established it can be described as a more robust species than the New Zealand nikau, with a larger crown shaft of fronds of a more arching nature and largely more tolerant of wind.
		Nikaus especially will benefit from timely feeding, increasing their rate of growth substantially.
		In the wild nikaus are notably slow to form a trunk, taking up to thirty years before it begins to emerge!

		Melbourne grand final hero Tawera Nikau believes the Storm must devise a special game plan to nullify Brisbane's size advantage in Sunday's NRL grand final at Telstra Stadium.
		The combined weight of the Broncos' starting pack - an average 105.3 kilograms per player - is 39 kilograms heavier than that of the Storm's (98.8), a significant advantage in a match traditionally won in the engine room.
		Nikau, who was instrumental in the Storm's 20-18 come-from-behind victory against St George Illawarra in the 1999 decider, said the minor premiers needed to tire out their bigger and less mobile opponents.

		I have some, which at the moment are in a shady spot.
		NIKAU (Rhopalostylis sapida) aren’t as amenable to being moved as most other palms, as their root system doesn’t recover quickly, particularly with young specimens.
		In the native bush they generally spend most of their life under the shade of larger trees, though they can tolerate sun if allowed to become gradually accustomed to it.

		It is easy to recognise in the bush with its circular trunk, ringed with evenly spaced scars from fallen leaves which are up to 3 metres in length and at their base circle the trunk completely.
		Initially this is sticky and sweet and attracts insects, in particular bees before it develops to the next stage of producing deep red berries.
		They are very popular with native pigeons and other birds, especially in spring or during egg laying because nikau seed are high in calcium.

	Field Notes On The Nikau
		Berries are abundant, falling to the ground at the base of the trunk or the flesh eaten and the seed dropped by birds.
		The Nikau will grow exposed to sea winds on the west coast, but gets severely tattered.
		This does not seem to be a problem to them as they grow, fruit and regenerate (where grazing pressure allows) freely despite looking an awful mess.

	Field Notes On The Nikau (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Native-plant buffs in New Zealand claim there are regional forms of the Nikau of varying stoutness and crown shapes.
		However, the areas I covered were limited to the northern, subtropical zone and yet I saw all shapes and sizes of palm, the differences seeming to reflect the age of the plants, vigour and illumination.
		Direct sun stimulates a stiff shuttlecock shape, the margins of the pinnae rolled back in a curl, with the outer leaves characteristically tattered and burnt at the tips in all but the most sheltered and humid spots.
