Add tropical charm to your landscape with the Florida Thatch Palm (Thrinax radiata), an endangered native species. Growing 15-30 feet tall and 5-15 feet wide, this slow-growing evergreen boasts aromatic foliage, showy white flowers, and impressive 2-3 foot leaves.
Resilient in tough environments, it thrives in full sun or part shade and well-drained to moist soil, adapting to loam, lime rock, or sandy soils with high pH. Beyond beauty, it supports birds, bees, and butterflies (larval host for Monk Skipper), making it a meaningful addition to Florida’s natural heritage. Withstanding salty winds, storm surges, and brief dry spells, this palm offers sustainable elegance and hurricane resistance for your outdoor space.
