Areca palm also known by the name of Butterfly palm is another popular choice for medium and big landscapes. These palms are suitable for the warm climate conditions of South Florida. These palms are famous for privacy, screening, and garden backdrops in cape coral landscaping designs. This is also a self-cleaning palm. The smooth golden trunks of this palm provide a bright look to the area. Their full and narrow fronds like bamboo leaves are the cherry on the top.
3. Alexander palm tree
Alexander's palm is the common name for the solitaire palm. The popularity of this palm is increasing every day in South Florida. This palm is idle to grow in narrow and medium space landscapes.
