Notes

Paurotis palm (Acoelorrhaphe wrightii) is a tree for low maintenance landscapes. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It stays evergreen, tolerates salt, and attracts birds.

Pairs well with Buttonwood, Dahoon, and Red maple.
