The Fishtail Palm is a clustering palm recognized for its unique, bi-lobed leaflets that resemble the tail of a fish. Thriving in partial shade to full sun, it prefers moist, well-drained soil and warm, humid conditions. With its dense growth habit and tropical appearance, this palm is ideal for creating privacy screens, lush backdrops, or dramatic focal points in shaded to lightly filtered landscape areas.
