Insights
Areca Palms are indigenous to the hydric forests of Madagascar. They are known as Golden Cane Palms because the stems producing the exotic foliage are a lovely warm gold colour. Panicles of small yellow flowers appear on mature palms in the summer and mature into inedible red seeds. It is a recipient of the RHS AGM (Award of Garden Merit), for all round excellence.
