|---|---|
| Plant Info | A clumping, evergreen palm with distinctive bipinnate leaves whose jagged, triangular leaflets resemble a fish’s tail. Produces pendulous sprays of creamy-white flowers from the top of each stem downwards over several seasons, followed by red to black fruit. Each stem dies after flowering but is replaced by new suckers from the base. |
| Key Features | Tropical look; clumping habit; architectural foliage; shade-tolerant; coastal and wind hardy; low maintenance once established. |
| Used For | Tropical backdrops; screening; understorey planting; large containers; poolside landscaping. |
| Ideal Growing Position | Full sun to part shade in moist, well-drained soil. Tolerates humidity, coastal exposure, and light frost. Protect from prolonged cold. Wear gloves when handling old leaves or fruit, as sap can irritate skin. |
