Red Palm Plant - 3 FT Well Grown

The red palm plant, known scientifically as 'Cycas revoluta', is a popular ornamental plant widely appreciated for its striking appearance and feathery, arching fronds. This evergreen cycads species, often referred to as sago palm, features a sturdy trunk and dense foliage, giving it a lush, tropical vibe that can enhance any garden or indoor space. Physical Characteristics The red palm can grow up to 10 feet (approximately 3 meters) tall and 4 feet (about 1.2 meters) wide, making it a substantial feature in landscaping. The leaves are long and pinnate, reaching lengths of up to 3 feet (about 0.9 meters), and have a rich green hue that provides a vibrant contrast against the reddish-brown trunk. Importantly, these palms do not actually have the characteristics of commercial palms but belong to a different class of plants called cycads.

Ideal Growing Conditions The red palm plant thrives in warm climates, making it suitable for USDA hardiness zones 8-10.
