Description
Caryota Mitis is found in Southeast Asia from India to Java to southern China, now sparingly naturalized in southern Florida and in parts of Africa and Latin America .It has clustered stems up to 10 m (33 feet) tall and 15 cm (6 inches) in diameter. Leaves can be up to 3 m (10 feet) long. Flowers are purple, fruits dark purple or red. Caryota Mitis gets its "fishtail" nickname because the leaflets are jagged or "chopped" appearing at the distal end, much like the tail of a fish.
This Caryota Maxima Himalaya Palm is frequently seen growing semi-wild in the foothills of the central and eastern Himalayas up to 2400 m (7800 ft). It is by far the most cold tolerant Fishtail Palm, guaranteed to stand up happily to cold winters with snow and moderate frosts. It is a tough, easy to grow palm that can also make a great houseplant.
