There are many canes that grow up from the footprint of clumping Fishtail palms. For this reason and others, they have become popular as a landscaping palm that clumps. Other popular screening materials include, Areca Palms, Lady Palms and Bird of Paradise Palms.
Our field grown materials can be dug and installed into any commercial or residential landscaping project.
The minimum height used is usually 8’ OA for field grown materials.
Each clump is made up of approximately 5-10 canes and the heads are full and lush as you walk around the palm.
Fishtail palms are desired because of their dark green fronds as well as their fluffy and full appearance. Their unique fronds are responsible for this beautiful aesthetic, as they aren’t like the fronds of other palms.
