Caryota maxima "Himalaya"

A native of the Himilaya's, this magnificent fishtail palm is not very common in the landscape. However, they can be quite striking when presented this way. Solitaire in nature, they can be fast growing depending on growing conditions and are the most cold hardy of the Caryota species, reputed to withstand down to 18 degrees F. The only down side of this majestic palm is that once it sets seeds and the lower most infructance matures the palm starts to die.

We currently have 1 and 2 year old seedlings growing in 1 gal pots.
