==Cultivation==
[[Image:KermadecNikau877.jpg|thumb|200px|left|''R. bauerii'' has a prominent crownshaft]]In the southern hemisphere outside its habitats, ''R. bauerii'' is cultivated in mainland New Zealand as a faster-growing alternative to ''R. sapida'', the [[Nikau|Nikau Palm]], which it closely resembles. It is also grown in the Australian states of [[New South Wales]], [[Queensland]], [[Victoria]], and [[Western Australia]]. Suitable climates for cultivation exist in Chile, South Africa, and at higher altitudes in many tropical countries. In the northern hemisphere excellent cultivated specimens are found on the coasts of the southeastern Azores and Madeira, which offer similar climates to those of the species' origin. The species is also grown outdoors in coastal California, Hawai'i, continental Portugal and Spain, the Canary Islands, and in parts of the Mediterranean basin (e.g., Palermo, Italy).
