Caryota mitis seedlings with 1-2 leaves.
Commonly known as the fishtail palm, Caryota mitis features a slender, upright trunk that can reach heights of up to 15 meters (49 feet) and has a diameter of about 10 to 15 centimeters (4 to 6 inches). The trunk is typically smooth and topped with a cluster of distinctive, arching fronds that can grow up to 3 meters (10 feet) long. The fronds are unique for their fishtail-shaped leaflets, which are divided into several segments, giving them a lush and tropical appearance.
Native to Southeast Asia, particularly Indonesia and the Philippines, the fishtail palm thrives in tropical climates, preferring well-drained, rich soils and partial to full sunlight. It is moderately resistant to drought but performs best with regular watering, especially in dry conditions. Caryota mitis can tolerate temperatures as low as -3°C (27°F) and shows moderate resilience to wind, making it suitable for various landscapescaping applications. Its striking foliage and graceful growth habit make it a popular choice for ornamental planting in gardens, patios, and tropical landscapes.
