Field Grown Bird Of Paradise Palms
The long hours of direct sunlight we receive year round, encourages this native palm of South Africa, to grow to its max height of 10’-15’ OA.
When Bird of Paradise palms are young, they’re often mistaken for Travelers Palms. It’s a common mistake. Both have palm leaves that are similar in shape and size to the leaves of banana trees. Once they become larger than 5’OA the differences become clear.
There’s some distinct differences between the two palms.
White Birds of Paradise have canes that will grow to varying heights, while the Travelers palm grows many canes at approximately the same overall height.
Our knowledgeable team members will talk to you about where you’re are thinking about planting the Bird of Paradise palm to find out if the space is good for the health of this palm as well as the beauty of your landscape. We know that the footprint of the Bird of Paradise is much smaller than it is for the Traveler. Traveler palms have a much larger footprint.
