Description

This palm grows slowly to 25' x 10' . It has long, light green leaves with a waxy cover and small yellow flowers. The tree produces a black fruit that has an edible pulp and tastes similar to dates. Handsome bright green fronds make this an excellent choice for an tropical look. Good choice when a smaller palm is needed. Accepts full sun or parial shade. Native to Mexico.

Water Saving Tip:

Replace damaged nozzles or heads with those identical to other heads on the same valve.

Mixing different types of heads on the same valve will create overly dry areas or overly wet areas.
