Fishtail Palm

The fishtail palm was named for its unusual leaves - shaped like a jagged fish's tail - which form thick, swirled layers of ruffled fronds.

Fishtails are clustering palms that grow dense and full.

They can be used as privacy screens - especially while they're young - and create a draping mass of deep green leaves among large trunks as they age.

Many homeowners opt for growing a fishtail in an area where they've been considering clumping bamboo.

It won't spread as much or grow as fast as bamboo, but gives the same kind of tropical look and privacy.

Fishtails are considered deer-resistant (though we make no promises).

• These palms are a great choice for natural privacy screening.

• Not just another pretty face, the dramatic palm can double duty as a spectacular tropical privacy screen.

• Fast growers for sun and shade & can reach heights of 15 to 20 feet and more. 

• Zone 10 is best, though winter in warmers areas or Zone 9B that border 10A, you can use an Areca in a protected spot. You may see leaf tip burn after most winters, even in Zone 10. Areca are clustering palms.
