Sugar Cane Palm - Dypsis baronii - 10L / 25cm / Large

Dypsis baronii are one of the most popular outdoor palms for landscaping because they typically reach a max of 3m in height, have strong graceful fronds and can produce multi-stemmed colourful trunks that can emerge as red and rest as gold. They also suit a range of conditions from semi-shade and shelter to all-day sun and wind exposure. Grown in 70% sunlight, these are best hardened to the elements outdoors in the cooler months to avoid sunburn.
