Sugar palm is a commodity that has the potential to be developed. Sugar palm is
developed to produce various products and raw materials for derivative products.
Currently, there is a lot of morphological diversity of sugar palm plants found in
the field. Presently, identification of various types of sugar palm morphologically
in Banten Province is still limited. Sugar palm in Banten Province is found in
various locations, such as in Lebak. This study aimed to determine the
characteristics of Aren seedlings originating from Lebak Regency. The hypothesis
in this study is that there are several characteristics of palm seedlings originating
from Lebak Regency. This research was conducted in August 2019 - November
2019 located in Green House, Cinanggung Village, Serang City, Banten Province.
This study uses a descriptive method, through a quantitative approach with data
analysis and interpretation, and conclusion. The observation parameters in this
study were: Plant Height (cm); Number of leaves per plant (strands); Leaf width
(cm); Leaf length (cm); stem diameter (cm); Leaf color. The results showed that
Aren from Lebak Regency aged 1 year have an average plant height of 28.1 cm, a
pinnate leaf shape and a thick like a palm leaf, with an average number of 1
leaves, an average leaf length of 16.4 cm, and an average leaf width of 6.8 cm,
with dark green leaf color. The stem diameter has a strength correlation with plant
growth level like as plant height, the higher the plant. The greater the stem
diameter obtained in this study is 2.19 cm.

Hal ini dapat diartikan bahwa tiga daerah, salah satunya adalah
diameter batang yang memiliki data Lebak. Aren yang berasal dari
dibandingkan pada diameter batang tanaman 28,1 cm. Aren yang berasal
yang memiliki data terendah yaitu dari Lebak memiliki bentuk daun
1,68. Besarnya nilai diameter batang menyirip dan tebal seperti daun
kelapa sawit, dengan rata-rata jumlah
