Tropical Theme With Silk Fishtail Palm

We've manufacture both a silk fishtail palm and a giant fishtail palm tree after the living Caryota Mitis. The silk fishtail palm trees developed by Commercial Silk Int'l can be crafted with our fire retardant foliage, to insure consistent fire protection for you interior faux landscaping specifications. Our silk fishtail palm trees are so unique and realistic that the silk palm appears healthy and alive. The silk fishtail palm's foliage resembles the tail fin of an ornamental fish and the palm fronds are light and airy. Fishtail palm trees are a dominant artificial tree in any indoor faux landscape.We use natural wood stems in building these premium grade silk fishtail palms.

Fishtail palms add a wonderful tropical element to an indoor faux landscape. This palm species is native to Asia, Indonesia, and the South Pacific. It now also grows in Suriname and in South Florida nurseries. The living palm tree has slender multiple stems, and the stem clumps grow up to thirty feet tall. Mop-like clusters of flowers develop from the top of a mature fishtail palm, and subsequent flower clusters continue to emerge below. The flowers appear in threes, one female flower in between two male ones. Because the fishtail palm is monocarpic, the stem dies after the cluster has reached the ground. The palm clump survives this process as numerous suckers grow at the base of the palm, producing more stems. Fishtail palm trees are named for their exotic triangular leaflets, which can reach nine feet in length. The leaves are deep green and leathery with a ragged edge, and it is the only palm with leaves that are subdivided twice. Similar to other palm trees, the fishtail palm tree cannot be pruned back to reduce height, as new growth comes from a high central growing point.
