 The beautiful palm embodies the romanticism of the tropics. Its market value is also great. There are many varieties from palm dwarfs to plants reaching 20 meters in height.
All of them have majestic gray stems with crowns made of complex yellow-green leafs. Each leaf is around 3 to 5 meters long. During the last two decades, the coco palm in South Florida was assailed by a microorganism that causes disease, known as the deadly “Yellows” Disease. Fortunately seedlings that are able to resist the disease are already cultivated. |
