Alexander palms are slender, ringed-trunk palms that look best planted in a cluster of two or three. They suit an entry, a pool area or a bed that needs height without bulk.
They grow at a steady pace and do well in sun or light shade. They want regular feeding, since our sandy soil can leave them short of nutrients.
UF/IFAS rates this species Caution for South and Central Florida (manage to prevent escape). It seeds freely, so we suggest placing it where fallen fruit can be raked up, and we are glad to talk through alternatives.
Good for
- Entries
- Pool areas
- Groups of 2 or 3
- Slim vertical accent
