Bismarck Palm is distinguished by its robust, solitary gray to tan trunk, about 12 to 16 inches (30 to 40 cm) in diameter, which may exhibit a slight bulge at the base. This palm is characterized by majestic, rounded leaves that reach up to 9 feet (2.7 meters) in width. These large leaves are further divided into 20 or more stiff segments, once-folded, and connected via persistent fibers. Mature specimens can soar to impressive heights, although commonly in a cultivated environment they grow to a more modest size.
