Scientific Name: Chamaedorea Metallic
Common Name: Metallic Palm Tree 57 M
Type of Plant: Palm Tree
I have the Metallic palm tree #57 in the Dougherty Garden for many years and it is located in a shady area because it is an understory palm tree. I'm hoping that the Metallic palm tree find a placed that makes it extremely happy. As of now, it produces black seeds on a regular basis but none of these seeds have germinated so far.
The one problem that I found on the Metallic palm tree is the white scale or some type of white bug that persists, year after year, under the base of the leaf. I cut away most of the base and spray with a hose to remove the scales. Unfortunately, they perists year after year. Enjoy,
