The Nikau enjoy's New Zealand's hot Summer and temperatures over 40⁰ Centigrade. Nikau Palms are not frost tolerant and will not endure temperatures below 5⁰ Centigrade, this is why few Nikau Palms survive altitudes above 1000 Meters.

Sorry I deleted this, but I dont think it's true. It never gets above 40⁰ in NZ, and is often below 5⁰. Dougalc 01:08, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Life cyce timeline

Could someone who knows please add information about the timeline for this plant. When does trunk formation start? When does it first set fruit? How long do they live? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.152.180.211 (talk) 00:57, 11 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Changed to common macron inclusion.

I am about to change the word nikau to nīkau throughout the article as that is the original te reo Māori word for this palm that had its common spelling changed to nikau, but nīkau is now most-commonly used, by, for example: the Department of Conservation (New Zealand) here, Project Crimson here, Te Ara: The Encyclopedia of New Zealand here, Forest & Bird here, NZ Herald here, Stuff (company) here and Radio New Zealand here. Te reo Māori place names have macrons on Wikipedia, and flora and fauna are now being changed, for example: kōwhai, tūī, kererū, kōkako and wētā. E James Bowman (talk) 05:18, 18 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
