Florida Thatch Palm is an attractive fan palm growing up to 15 ft with a
graceful slender trunk. Trunks can grow 30-40 ft tall, but are only 5
inches thick. It develops numerous 3 ft palmate leaves which have up to
60 pleat-like segments. The segments extend two-thirds into the blade
and have drooping tips. Leaves are dark green above, silvery beneath.
Leaft stalks are about 3 ft long. Flowers are borne in sprays 3-4 ft
long, with many short yellowish branches bearing white bisexual flowers.
Fruit is round, 1.2 cm wide, white when ripe. This is a very slow
growing pine. This palm does well in humid weather, and is native to
coastal areas of the North American continent.
