Spindle Palm - 15 Gallons

Spindle Palm, 15 Gallon, 8 ft Height

The spindle palm is a true palm that may grow up to 25 feet in full sun conditions. The fronds are pinnately compound and up to 10 feet (3 m.) long with a foot (31 cm.) long petiole. This creates an arching effect that is elegant and pleasing as the leaves rustle in the wind. The trunk is light gray and swells midpoint, narrowing again into a slim, smooth green crown shaft from which leaves emerge. The creamy inflorescences are up to 2 feet (61 cm.) long in clusters and become orange to red fleshy fruits just under an inch (2.5 cm.) in diameter.
