Nong Nooch Tropical Garden’s unique lady palm wins Japanese certification

PATTAYA:--Pattaya’s Nong Nooch Tropical Garden has become Thailand’s only certified cultivator of a Japanese lady palm variety.

Kosuke Inukai, president of the Japan Lady Palm Association, presented the honor for the garden’s “Tansachahime” palm to Director Kampol Tansajja Feb. 29.

Inukai said the certification of the new type of lady palm, Tansachahime, was given by the organization as it was unique among the existing 132 varieties of palm around the world.

The plant has white leaves with equally sized green stripes covering the whole leaf. It was expected that within a couple years, Thailand’s version of the lady palm of Thailand will be ranked internationally among the best.
