Where folks in your neighborhood use Royal palm, you will clearly upstage with your Copernicia baileyana plantings Handles periods of drought very well after establishment, and food needs are typical Plant in most any loose soil with a full sun exposure; water to establish and fuss for 2 years, then expect carefree growth When young, Copernicia baileyana is exceptionally gorgeous because you see the huge fronds so clearly. Bailey's copernicia palm is somewhat hard to buy, so expect to start with a palm like these , unless you have a serious budget or field grown sizes. Because they are a fuss to establish, we'd begin with smaller potted palms |
