Introduced to India during colonial botanical garden acclimatization in the 19th century, it has become one of the most prominent stately avenue palms across Gujarat's civic, institutional, and corporate landscapes. It is widely planted along wide boulevards, university campuses (e.g., Gujarat University, MSU Baroda), government complexes in Gandhinagar, corporate headquarters, and high-end residential layouts in Ahmedabad, Vadodara, Surat, and Rajkot.
