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, 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.
