Areca Palms & patio entrance arch

This palm obviously grows more than 10' in height. Here in a tropical climate, 30' is not unusual. In California, 25' is about it's maximum height.

Here is a bizzare cultivar of this palm grown in Thailand

Here is another cultivar of this palm, showing less yellow, but droopy leaflets
by palmbob Jul 6, 2003 10:46 PM
THis is a very yellow form of this palm, though the shape is very typical

A group of Arecas near home. Sometimes I stop there and eat the orange fruits - everyone looks at me in strange ways when I do that, I bet they don´t know the fruits are edible. Rio de Janeiro

An uncommon ramified Areca. There are 3 or 4 individuals in the same yard like this. I know another one in the Botanical Garden. I wonder why this happens. Rio de Janeiro

Another shot of a tiny flower. These flowers could´ve very well never been noticed even by the most experienced gardeners. Rio de Janeiro, early spring.

I've only had this for about 3 weeks, and it is already putting out a ton of brand new shoots. Baby tears at the base will eventually fill in, and keep the soil from drying out too quickly. I hope to transplant it outside when it gets bigger.

Several Dypsis Lutescens clumps in a park garden in the outskirts of Puerta Vallarta. It gets very hot here and these clumps are exposed to full sun. They love the humidity too.

common way of cultivating and trimming this palm in tropics... black and white was an accident. Hawaii
by palmbob Mar 23, 2007 2:42 PM
when I first saw this beauty in a yard in Hawaii, I didn't know what it was... Solitary version of this plant... NICE!!
