Caryota gigas (8L), commonly known as the King Kong Fishtail Palm, is a spectacular, fast-growing evergreen palm with massive, arching fronds that resemble a fish’s tail. Ideal for creating a dramatic tropical statement in large Auckland gardens or as a bold indoor specimen in bright light. Grow in full sun to partial shade in rich, moist, well-draining soil with regular water. Best in a sheltered, frost-free position protected from strong winds.
