Scientific Name: Caryota mitis

Common Names: Fishtail Palm, Clustered Palm

Overview: The Caryota mitis, commonly known as the Fishtail Palm, is a stunning addition to any indoor or outdoor space. Originating from Southeast Asia, this tropical beauty is renowned for its unique foliage resembling the tail of a fish, hence its name. Its lush green leaves are intricately divided, giving it a distinctive appearance that adds a touch of exotic charm to any environment.

Caring for the Caryota mitis is relatively straightforward, making it an ideal choice for both novice and experienced plant enthusiasts. It thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers well-draining soil that is kept consistently moist but not waterlogged. Regular watering during the growing season and occasional fertilization will promote healthy growth. With proper care, this palm can grow up to 10 feet tall, creating a striking focal point in your home or garden.

We’re closed for the winter season. Products are viewable, and we’ll reopen in spring.

Description

Dense and Full, the Fishtail Makes a Great Privacy Screen

Fishtails are a clustering palm that grow very densely. Their draping rich green leaves conjure up a tropical mood. Unlike other palm’s feathery fronds, the Fishtail’s foliage is tightly organized in a herringbone pattern that offers privacy in any spot you choose for them.

The Fishtail Palm can be grown in full sun to part shade. They are moderately cold tolerant, preferring temperatures about 55 degrees. They can, however, survive the occasional light frost. They’re moderate growers, usually achieving a height of 20 to 25 ft. tall.

    Packaged well. No broken stems or leaves. Nice plant.

  8. Ryan P. (verified owner) –

    It had good growth, but the plant outgrew the pot it was shipped in. They send an email saying not to repot for two weeks, but it just wasn’t sustainable. My advice transfer to a pot that can hold water immediately

  9. Dennis C. (verified owner) –

  12. Sharon Pfeifer (verified owner) –

    I have ordered 3 and 1 was not doing well when I opened the box.
    It is barely making it but the other 2 are very green.

  13. Linda A. (verified owner) –

    I’m very happy to get my fishtail palm, which my favorite nursery wasn’t able to get for me. Unfortunately, the plant was taller than the box it was shipped in so the tallest limbs were broken. I’m sure the rest will overtake those at some point so I remain happy with this plant.

  14. Cathy Lance (verified owner) –

    I actually didn’t believe how large this tree would be when it arrived. I have to now get a much bigger pot, much much bigger pot. It is so healthy and well – huge. Did I mention gorgeous? It definitely is that!

  15. Anonymous (verified owner) –
