Caryota albertii planted in the ground

[happypalms]

A bit of an unknown Caryota in my area that’s for sure. Iam sure there out there in some collection somewhere. But definitely a rare beauty around my parts. I gave this one plenty of space well away from any buildings and so it can be viewed in its full glory in 20 years time!

Not one I’ve heard of . I love fishtail palms even though they die after flowering . The beauty they bring to the garden is worth it , to me. I saw a large C. Zebrini at the Huntington and it was magnificent , planted in the glass house . I was wondering how it was going to be removed after it flowers. It takes good planning when you plant them . Harry

Yes that’s why I have located this one far enough away from any structures. The only damage it can do is to the garden underneath it.

Good idea , it looks like they get fairly large. Palmpedia calls it the Australian Fishtail. Harry

Yes they do large, so plenty of room away from structures. It’s good to learn after a while and experience. A bit of hindsight goes a long way with this palm.
