Salacca wallichiana is a species of tropical palm native to Southeast Asia, particularly Thailand and surrounding regions. It is a clumping, stemless palm that typically grows in humid, lowland forest environments. The plant produces long, pinnate leaves with spines along the petioles and is well-suited to shaded or partially shaded areas with moist, well-drained soil.
The fruit of Salacca wallichiana is scaly and reddish-brown, similar in appearance to other salak species. Inside, it contains one or more segments of firm, juicy pulp with a sweet to slightly acidic flavor, often eaten fresh. The fruit is edible and locally valued. Propagation is by seed, and germination occurs best in warm, consistently humid conditions.
Seeds are shipped in packs of one, in humid vermiculite.
