Arikury Palm - Syagrus schizophylla
Think of Syagrus schizophylla as a scaled down relative of the queen palm. It holds a short, stocky trunk clothed in a spiral of persistent old leaf bases, topped by stiff, glossy fronds that stay dark green even in full coastal sun. Because it stops well short of roof height, it is one of the few feather palms that can be repeated through a small courtyard without eventually becoming a maintenance problem.
Why Arikury Palm
Modest Height: Mature plants stay at a scale where fronds can be trimmed from a step ladder.
Patterned Trunk: Retained leaf bases spiral up the stem and give the trunk real visual interest.
Salt Tolerance: Comes from coastal Brazil and handles salt laden wind on exposed sites.
Sun Hardiness: Fronds hold their dark green in full exposure rather than yellowing.
Low Maintenance: Slow, tidy growth means only a few old fronds to remove each year.
Ideal Applications
Coastal Courtyard: Copes with wind and sand where softer palms burn.
Poolside Planting: Compact crown and minimal litter suit paved edges.
Container Feature: Slow growth makes it a long term pot plant for a terrace.
Grouped Understorey: Planted in threes beneath taller palms for a layered tropical effect.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (screening/hedge): 1.5 to 2m
Spacing (feature/avenue): 2.5 to 3m
Best Planting Season: Spring and summer while the soil is warm
Soil & Drainage: Free draining sandy loam, tolerant of sand and salt but not of waterlogging
Establishment Care: Water twice a week through the first summer, then move to deep weekly soakings. Feed with palm fertiliser in spring and late summer, and wear gloves when trimming because the leaf stalk margins are toothed.
