Livistona saribus, commonly known as taraw palm, is a species of palm tree found in Southeast Asia (Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam, Borneo, Java. Peninsular Malaysia and the Philippines). It is reportedly naturalized in the Society Islands of French Polynesia and also in the Guangdong and Yunnan regions of China.[2]
Livistona saribus produces blue fruits, and is cold hardy to twenty-four degrees. Taraw grows to forty feet (12 m) in height and prefers moist soil. It has spines along the leaf stems which resemble shark teeth.[3][4]
