About Pseudophoenix sargentii
This species is often found in coastal habitats. It has large, feathery fronds that can grow up to 8-10 feet in length and are a bright green color. It grows easily but slowly in cultivation, a situation which has contributed to the destructive practice transplanting wild specimens to gardens and landscapes.
Cultivation Tips
Plant in a location that received full sun to partial shade. It is widely adaptable to different soils, but prefers a well draining alkaline base. This species is very drought, salt and wind tolerant and it does well in any warm temperate or tropical climates. It does not require constant feeding, so fertilize sparingly during the growing season with a high quality palm fertilizer.
