Notes
Triangle palm (Chrysalidocarpus decaryi) is a palm for borders, containers, and low maintenance or xeriscape gardens. 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 dry to average, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It stays evergreen and tolerates drought. Plan for a tall palm, since it can reach about 25 to 30 feet.
Pairs well with Ponytail palm, Pride of madeira, and Frangipani.
