Wettinia

Wettinia is a genus of palm trees native to the tropical regions of South America. These palms are recognized for their strikingly tall, slender trunks and broad, feather-like leaves which often form a dense crown atop the stem. Wettinia thrives under the canopy of dense rainforests, benefitting from the moist, shaded environments which help maintain its lush appearance. Their fruiting patterns are essential for local wildlife, contributing to the ecosystem's biodiversity.
