Fish Tail Palm

The Fish Tail Palm (Caryota) gets its name from its highly unusual, bi-pinnate leaves that resemble the jagged tail fins of a fish. This vigorous, clustering palm creates a dense, textural canopy that is completely unique in the palm world. It performs exceptionally well as a screening plant or a lush backdrop in large tropical gardens. Its rapid growth rate and thick foliage make it an ideal natural privacy barrier between properties.
