Orange Areca Palm - Areca vestiaria ‘Orange Form’
Clear, saturated orange crownshafts, the smooth sheath at the top of each stem, set Areca vestiaria ‘Orange Form’ apart from other clustering palms, glowing beneath a crown of arching green fronds. Several stems rise from the base, so one plant builds a multi trunked clump of colour at eye level and above. It is a frost tender tropical palm: in South East Queensland it needs a warm, sheltered, frost free pocket out of winter wind, and further south it is best grown in a large pot that can move under cover for winter. It is happiest in filtered light or morning sun, with young plants kept out of hot afternoon sun.
Why the Orange Areca Palm
Orange crownshafts: Each stem is topped by a smooth orange sheath below the fronds, so a mature clump shows several bands of colour at different heights.
Clustering habit: Fresh suckers keep arriving at the base, so the clump thickens year on year from one planting.
Shade tolerance: It grows and colours well in filtered light where sun loving palms stretch and thin out.
Slender stems: The individual stems stay thin, so even a mature clump looks airy and open at the base.
Ornamental fruit: Clusters of small orange to red fruit follow the flowers below the crownshaft.
Ideal Applications
Year round colour: In a sheltered courtyard the orange stems carry colour through every month, flowering or not.
Middle storey: Below tall palms or rainforest trees it fills the gap between groundcovers and the canopy.
Covered entry: In a broad tub beside a sheltered front door, the orange stems frame the approach.
Pond and water feature margins: Constantly moist ground at the edge of a pond or stream is where it grows most strongly.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (feature/avenue): 2.5 to 3.5m
Best Planting Season: Mid spring through summer
Soil & Drainage: Moist, humus rich soil with plenty of organic matter; tolerates damp ground and periods of wet feet, but not airless, compacted clay
Establishment Care: Set it no deeper than it sat in the pot and leave the cone of stilt roots at the base of each stem exposed, with mulch, soil top ups and edgers kept a hand's width away. Keep the root zone moist at all times through the first year, soaking it deeply whenever the surface dries in summer, since dry soil browns the frond tips within days, and feed with a granular palm food in October and again in January. The fruit drops as it ripens, so set the clump a little back from paving and pool edges where it would need sweeping.
