Culture
Light: Full sun to moderate shade (the fronds grow
longer in shady situations, giving the palm a more
graceful aspect than those grown in full sun).
Moisture: Prefers sandy, well drained soil but is
adaptable and very drought tolerant. Regular
watering and feeding will produce a faster growing,
more attractive palm.
Hardiness: USDA Zone 8-9. This is our hardiest
feather leafed palm. This palm is not
recommended for subtropical and tropical climates.
Propagation: Seeds. Young palms are often found
under palms that have been allowed to produce fruit.
It is not unusual to see offspring growing in the
old leaf boots of a mature tree.
Usage
Use it as a lawn accent or in groupings. This palm
is good for urban plantings and can also be grown at
the beach.
