Deli x Compact (High Density Compact Variety)

This variety comes from the crossing of compact pisifera palms (originating from the successive backcrossing of an E. oleifera x E. guineesis natural hibrid with exceptional characteristics to E. guineensis parental lines), with Deli dura palms (Bogor, Java). The Deli x Compact palms have considerably shorter leaves and trunks than standard E. guineensis varieties, so they can be planted at 170 palms per hectare.
