Christmas Palm Tree

Party it Up With the Christmas Palm Tree

Bring a touch of the tropics home with the easygoing Christmas Palm. This compact, graceful palm forms a smooth gray trunk topped with a lush crown of long, arching green fronds. Around the holidays, it puts on a show with clusters of bright red berries—right on cue for the festive season.

Native to the Philippines (also known as the Manila Palm), this is one of the simplest palms to grow. It thrives in a sunny window indoors or outdoors in warm climates like Florida. Give it a roomy pot, occasional watering, and it practically takes care of itself.
