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. |
