CHRISTMAS PALM

The Christmas Palm, scientifically named Adonidia merrillii, is a small to medium-sized palm tree originating from the Philippines. Its slender trunk and arching, glossy green fronds make it a popular choice for decorating. The tree earns its common name from the vibrant red berries resembling Christmas ornaments that appear in winter. Adaptable to various soil types and tolerant of both full sun and partial shade, the Christmas Palm is commonly used in residential and commercial landscaping in tropical and subtropical climates. Regular watering, well-draining soil, and minimal pruning are key to its care. The Christmas Palm remains a sought-after, low-maintenance option for adding a touch of tropical charm to spaces.
