Caryota Mitis. Clustering Fishtail Palm.
The Caryota Mitis is a really beautiful palm with a very distinct appearance. Dense clustering stems have rich green leaves composed of unusual triangular shaped leaflets with serrated edges resembling a fish tail, hence its common name of 'Fishtail Palm'.  With an upright rather than spreading growth habit it is perfect as a houseplant if space is limited or also great for growing in conservatories or atriums. Can be grown outside during the Summer months.
