Cabbage Palm: Frequently asked questions
What types of Cabbage Palm are there and what determines a good product?
The most important thing is to buy a plant that has been grown in good conditions. It should be healthy and have no signs of disease or insect damage, such as holes chewed by caterpillars or discolored leaves caused by mealybugs. Look for plants with the largest crowns possible; these are more likely to grow into large specimens than smaller ones will. If you can find one with multiple trunks, all the better.
Who should use a Cabbage Palm?
Based on what criteria should you buy a Cabbage Palm?
The first thing you need to look out for is the size of the plant. If it’s too small, then chances are it won’t grow into a nice looking tree and will just die off. You also want to make sure that there aren’t any holes in its trunk or leaves, as this can be an indication of disease or pests which could kill your Cabbage Palm if not treated right away.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of a Cabbage Palm?
Advantages
Cabbage Palms are very easy to grow. They require little maintenance and can tolerate a wide range of soil conditions, including poor drainage. The cabbage palm is also one of the most cold hardy palms in existence; it will survive temperatures as low as -10°F (-23°C). It’s not uncommon for this plant to live over 100 years.
Disadvantages
Cabbage Palm is a slow grower and can take up to 15 years before it reaches its full height. It also requires frequent watering, especially during the summer months when temperatures are high. This palm tree does not tolerate cold weather well at all so if you live in an area where there are freezing winters then this plant will need to be brought indoors or planted somewhere that has protection from frosty conditions.
