Dwarf catecu

Recommended Posts

This palm, although a dwarf compared to the standard A. catechu, has grown into quite a stout, robust little palm. Definitely not a wall flower and super

ornamental. 

Probably about 10 years old from a one gallon.

Here's the second of three, only a couple of years in the ground. 

Also a photo of a standard type Areca catechu probably 30' tall.

Hilo Jason, my neighbor, has a couple of killer dwarf catechu's.

Great pictures Tim!

Here are 2 of mine. I just fertilized so I’m hoping that helps correct the yellowing on some of the leaflets.

Here is my yellow dwarf.  It is in full sun and seems to be getting better with age
