Caryota
urens - Fishtail Wine Palm, Jaggery Palm, Sago Palm, Toddy Palm, Kittul Tree |
The leaves of Caryota
urens look like fish tails. Because there are so many names for
Caryota urens you can be sure that it has been grown almost everywhere it
could be. Caryota urens is a tropical palm. Frost, or even the
idea of frost is not good for the plants.
Protect it well. This is an economically important tree in India and the Malay
Peninsula. Caryota urens will grow to 100 feet there but maybe 20-30
here. The best Caryota urens specimens that I have seen here are growing in the
shade of other larger trees. In warmer coastal regions or
exceptional banana belt portions of the inland valleys Caryota urens can
be grown outdoors.
