King Kong Fishtail

The King Kong Fishtail Palm, Caryota gigas, is a medium sized palm, noted for its uniquely shaped, huge dark-green fishtail-like fronds that can bring a relaxing, tropical rainforest feel into any landscape. This beautiful palm is loaded with the fishtail-shaped leaves that not only bring a slice of paradise into your yard - a bigger specimen's canopy will also provide a good amount of tropical shade too.

Cold hardy, King Kong Fishtail Palms will thrive with full sun to partial shade exposure. They require low to moderate water use once established and have a slow to moderate growth rate.

A native of Thailand, Moon Valley Nurseries offers Caryota gigas available in a variety of sizes, grown and nurtured by our nursery professionals. We recommend buying as big as you can to take advantage of the calming nature these mature specimens provide! No matter what size you choose, King Kong Fishtail palms are sure to enhance and add value to any landscape.
