Creating a hedge with the Areca Palm or Dypsis lutescens

Creating a hedge with the Areca Palm

The Areca Palm or Dypsis lutescens makes an outstanding hedge. The Areca Palm has a clustering characteristic and many growers will combine multiple plants into one cluster which makes for a thicker plant.

Spacing can be from 3 feet to 6 feet or more depending on the size palm you are planting and how much of a hurry you are in to have your new screen.

Areca Palms are medium growers and can be in partial shade or full sun. Areca Palms are more golden in full sun and are sometimes called the Golden Cane Palm.
