Arenga caudata Palm Tree

Arenga caudata Palm Tree

Arenga caudata is found in Cambodia, Hainan, Laos, Malaya, South Myanmar (Burma), Thailand, and Vietnam.

A small, shrubby, understory palm up to 7 ft. tall, with densely clustering, thin, cane like stems and small leaves that are dark green above and silvery white below. The leaflets are roughly fishtail shaped and have jaggedly toothed margins.

It has a fibrous root system and benefits from deep organic, acidic, sandy loam soils that are fertile and well drained but thrives on a wide range of tropical soils. Will grow better in full shade, but tolerates morning sun.

This is an excellent understory palm highly sought after by palm collectors, but scarcely known in cultivation. It is adapted to warm temperate to tropical climates in humid regions, especially along with rainforests and, once established, will grow quite fast and does well in cultivation.
