Caryota Mitis Palm Trees

Caryota Mitis also known as Fish Tail Palm.  Fish tail palm’s  germinates quickly grows in to bushy shape. Good for interior adds. This clump-growing group of palms has medium green leaf blades which are divided into many
segments, each of which resembles the tail of a fancy goldfish. Rarely exceeding 25 feet in height,
a number of species of fishtail palms produce suckers from the base creating a very attractive specimen palm. Its
neat habit makes it ideal for use at poolside, in urns or other containers, and it is often seen in well-lit interiorscapes where its distinct form lends a tropical effect. It can be used as a house plant in large homes with
plenty of light.

Fishtail Palms can thrive in light conditions from full sun to deep shade, requiring only that its soil be
well-drained and reasonably fertile. It has a moderate to rapid growth rate and should be located outdoors in
a sheltered location protected from cold. Unfortunately, the palm is susceptible to lethal yellowing disease. In
addition, it is monocarpic so a stem dies after it flowers. This stem must be removed to maintain a neat
appearance. There are a variety of other species grown in south Florida nurseries.
