This majestic, large palm is a close relative of the magnificent Copernicia baileyana and Copernicia fallaensis. It is native to coastal eastern Cuba, where it grows in savanna and dry woodlands at low elevations. It forms a very thick and sturdy, smooth, slightly ventricose, whitish gray trunk that can reach about 20 m (67 ft.) tall. The trunk supports a dense, stiffly ascending crown of numerous very rigid, wedge-shaped, bluish green leaves with broad petioles. Even though very rarely seen in cultivation, it is best suited to tropical climates and will also succeed in some warm temperate regions. The leaves of C. gigas may be coated with a light to moderate layer of wax. This waxy coat might give a silvery sheen to the leaves but not as silver as some C. fallaensis. When young, the leaves may be very upright and might look similar to a very large C. rigida with very long petioles.
