Caryota mitis grows
well as an understory palm. Caryota mitis does best in a protected
frost free garden. Some salt correction is often needed as the salt
in our water often burns the leaves and inhibits nutrient uptake.
Caryota mitis may grow 30 feet in the tropics but is more likely to reach
10 feet or so here. Caryota mitis is Winter hardy to the mid-20's
but will look pretty unhappy for a long time.
