Best as a solitary specimen or a group of several in a large yard. Also can be a potted plant when young in a sunny patio for some years and then transplant to ground once the trunk has grown to about two feet high. Feed with a slow-release granular fertilizer for palms every three months if potted. Little care needed once established in-ground.
