The Kermadec Islands population is separated as R. cheesemanii by some botanists.
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). In the southern hemisphere outside its habitats, Rhopalostylis is cultivated 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.
