Hardy palms are invaluable as structural plants in tropical-style gardens. They look especially effective when planted alongside bananas, bamboos, and New Zealand flax. When the fruit of these palms falls to the ground and is nearly or fully ripe, remove the fruit pulp from the seeds for propagation.
