Description
This is a large, multi-trunked Chilean Wine Palm (Jubaea chilensis) growing in its natural habitat, not a bonsai specimen. It features several robust, greyish trunks topped with dense crowns of large, pinnate fronds. The specimen appears mature and well-established in the arid, mountainous landscape.
