This huge and impressive plant is found in most neighborhoods, and can reach heights up to 50 feet with 15-foot fronds. But will this palm fit into your landscape? As an example of plan before you plant, keep in mind the variables that make a plant suitable, including size, amount of after care, susceptibility to pests, maintenance, etc.
