Golden Cane Palm (Dypsis lutescens) - Golden Green

The Golden Cane Palm is one of the most popular and attractive of all palms. It is very easy to grow, and especially attractive due to its bamboo look. Golden Canes are clustering palms, with up to a dozen ringed, bamboo-like golden coloured trunks.
Golden Canes are very adaptable plants, and they are best grown in full sun, in a well draining but moist position.
Golden Cane Palms are drought tolerant, but not frost tolerant. Foliage is evergreen, of fine texture and yellow-green in colour. The root system is non-invasive and can provide some good shade around the pool or home.
These Palms are excellent for screening, they are fast growing, and are very bushy, creating a screen quickly and efficiently. Golden Canes can be pruned to shape & size to form a tidy, dense hedge.
Golden Cane Palms are suitable for container growing, as an indoor palm or out on the patio. Just make sure you use well draining potting mix, fertilise regurly, and prepare to buy a large tub as it gets bigger.
It will reach a height of around 4 meters in the ground. If you are planting these palms in the ground, prepare a spot with fairly rich soil, and water moderately during dry periods. Very easy to grow and great for landscaping!
