The classy sylvester palm is very hardy and low-maintenance – and just the right size for most home landscapes. Sylvester palms are slow growers to an ultimate height of 40 feet. They stay low to the ground while young, eventually growing an attractive trunk with diamond-shaped leaf-base scars. This palm is very cold hardy – taking Zone 9 temperatures in stride. It’s also drought-tolerant as well as moderately-salt-tolerant. The silvery blue-green fronds are a nice contrast to other, more typical greenery. Although these palms are drought-tolerant once they’re established, water during dry spells if you don’t have irrigation. Trim browned fronds as needed – which won’t be often since the palm grows slowly. The bushy fronds have stiff, pointy leaves with spines along the stems, so keep a safe distance from drives and walkways…at least 5 feet. If you’re planting several in a row, place them 4 to 5 feet or more apart.
