Easy-care, attractive palm that works well
in small spaces.
The Alexander Palm is an excellent choice for the low maintenance landscape. It is attractive, relatively inexpensive, and easy to grow. One of the few commonly available palms that is appropriate for small areas, it is especially useful in courtyards and atriums where space is tight, but remember its ultimate height of 20 feet. It cannot be maintained lower.
An attractive, small palm for the tropical and humid garden, it appreciates plenty of water in dry weather.
