Palm ID help

12 years ago

Can someone help me ID this palm? I have three and they're growing like crazy. I currently keep them on my porch with maybe 3-4 hours of morning sun each day. I'd like to know if they can overwinter indoors (zone 5a). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I agree with Izddr. They are majesty palms. You can overwinter them by keeping them in your house but make sure to give them plenty of light and water but not too much.

They don't like to dry out, I would put a saucer under the pot to hold water just in case it dries out a bit so it has a back up reserve of water.
Good luck with it!

Tropical zone is right. This is one palm that hates drying out, big time. Counter to you know about most all palms, this one does not mind sitting in a shallow saucer of water...I do this for my tree ferns and gardenias too. Most everything else I grow has SOME degree of occasional drought/dry tolerance. Not this one!
