The traveler's palm is not a true palm. It is related to the bird of paradise and banana, but it is planted, staked and sold like a palm, and it gives the same big tropical look.

Its huge paddle leaves fan out flat on a single plane, so place it where the fan will be seen from the front, such as an entry or the end of a bed. It wants full sun, water and room, and wind will shred the leaves.

It grows fast and gets big, so allow space away from the house, power lines and walks. It is cold-tender and a hard freeze will burn the leaves.

Good for

  • Dramatic focal point
  • Large open beds
  • Tropical look
