Carpentaria Palm is native to the rain forest areas of Australia’s Northern Territory, where it grows in flat lowland areas near lakes and rivers, and at the heads of saltwater estuaries. : It has a smooth single trunk ringed with old leaf scars that are far apart because of the rapid growth. The Carpentaria Palm produces beautiful green to white flowers all year round.

After planting a palm tree, it needs supplemental watering until it establishes. Do not let the soil dry out completely for the first several months, but also do not let it stand soggy or you will invite fungal issues. In the first year, do a foliar feeding in spring and a time-release granular feeding with a 3-1-3 ratio every 4 months. With very little palm tree care, these majestic plants will live in your landscape for a generation or more, providing shade, dimension and exotic beauty.
