The Needle Palm, a perennial shrub native to Florida grows in a clump-like fashion, adding character to compact areas. While it is a slow-growing plant, the Needle Palm can grow up to 6 feet in height and width. It gets its name from the sharp, black needles found along its trunk.
Needle Palm performs well in a variety of soil and sunlight conditions and is tolerant of drought. This hardy palm is adaptable to cold climates and often used throughout landscapes in the north to create a more tropical look year-round. When first planted, it should be watered regularly; however, once established, it can adapt to dry conditions and extensive rain, requiring minimal maintenance. Another key benefit to the Needle Palm is its resistance to pests and disease. It is perfect for planting in small spaces; however, ample space should be given so people passing by are not pricked by its āneedlesā. In landscapes, it can be used as a beautiful green backdrop for flowering plants or around the base of trees.
