Paurotis Palms
(Acoelorrhaphe wrightii)
Also know as the Everglades Palm because it
frequently forms dense stands at the border of tree islands and coastal
plains of moist or even swampy and monsoonal areas that are often
flooded with fresh or brackish water. The Paurotis Palm readily forms
clumps with thin distinctive trunks that cluster in varying heights-the
essence of the tropical look with a wild yet elegant aspect. The
Paurotis palm thrives in full sun but tolerates partial shade. It is a
true water lover, although it will survive in dry soil without the same
rich soil conditions. This palm can be used as a specimen isolated in
the expanse of a lawn or part of a border or screen for privacy.
