Palmyra palm
Borassus flabellifer
The Palmyra palm thrives in full sun and warm tropical climates, requiring deep, infrequent watering once established. It is a slow-to-establish but long-lived tree best suited to large outdoor spaces in frost-free regions. While drought-tolerant once mature, young trees benefit from regular watering during the first few years of growth.
