Caryota obtusa is a distinctive, towering addition to the "Palms & Cycads" collection. Often referred to as the Giant Fishtail Palm, this tropical selection is guaranteed to imbue every garden with an exotic ambiance, thanks to its unique, tan-green, fishtail-shaped bipinnate leaves, and impressive stature reaching heights of up to 100 feet. As appealing as a cascading waterfall, its flowers enrich the overall appearance with their charming draping tendrils. While Caryota obtusa thrives best under full sun to partial shade in well-drained, moisture-retaining soil environments, its moderate frost tolerance is worthy of note. As an extra precaution, remember that ingestion of the plant is unsafe due to its toxicity. This majestic Giant Fishtail Palm, with its commanding presence and exclusive beauty, is an unmatched focal point for all tropical-inspired landscapes.
