Comments: |
This clumping, multi-trunked Florida native is generally hardy for our area. It should be used only on large, intensively-maintained landscapes due to its suckering nature. This palm must be irrigated on dry sites and needs supplemental manganese on high ph soils. Paurotis palm makes a wonderful accent plant for those who have time and money. |
