The Golden Cane Palm is one of the most popular and attractive of all palms. It is very easy to grow, and especially attractive due to its bamboo look. Golden Canes are clustering palms, with up to a dozen ringed, bamboo-like golden coloured trunks. Foliage is evergreen, of fine texture, and yellow-green in colour.
Golden Canes grow to a height of around 4 meters in the ground. They are excellent palms for some shade around the swimming pool or the home, as their rootsystem is non-invasive. They are also very adaptable and can be grown in full sun to part shade. These Palms are excellent for screening, they are fast growing, and are very bushy, creating a screen quickly and efficiently. Golden Canes can be pruned to shape & size to form a tidy, dense hedge.
The Golden Cane, although very adaptable, is best grown in rich soil high in organic nutrient. It looks best when watered during dry periods, but is very drought hardy once established. Select a well draining position which has good water retention properties. It is easy to grow and great for landscaping! in a well draining but moist position. These palms are fairly cold hardy but should be protected from frost.
Golden Cane Palms are suitable for container growing, as an indoor palm or out on the patio. Just make sure you use well draining potting mix and fertilise regularly.
