We do not currently ship to CA, AZ and HI. Cat palm is a beautiful, fluffy little palm you can grow as an accent, backdrop or short, dense screen. A cat is similar in looks to an areca palm, except the leaf stems (petioles) are green, whereas the areca's are golden yellow. This smaller palm works in places where the areca would be too large. The cat palm tree isn't a tree at all...it's a clustering palm with no trunk whatsoever, just a dense clump of stems covered with feathery fronds. This palm only grows 6 to 8 feet tall in a rounded form. It's a slow grower that will tolerate sun or shade, though shadier locations are best. Plant in Zone 10, or in warmer areas of Zone 9B in a well-protected spot. This plant likes to live in moist - but not overly soggy - soil at all times. This plant is not tolerable to dry soil. Be careful with the type of water you use, too much salt or too many chemicals will cause the plant’s leaf tips to become burnt. Also, never let this plant sit in water, it doesn’t like that.
