fishtail palm

Overview

Fishtail Palm (Caryota mitis) is a unique and exotic palm species with long, lush foliage growing in a distinctive fishtail shape. It is highly sought after for its striking, tropical look both indoors and outdoors. The leaflets on these small-medium sized palms split into two or three fishtail-like shapes, giving it an interesting and attractive texture. It grows well in temperate regions and can tolerate both full sun and shade. When planted outdoors, it requires regular moisture and protection from extreme conditions, as it is somewhat susceptible to cold. It is an ideal choice for both landscape design and indoor container gardening.
