Scientific Name: Caryota Mitis
Common Name: Fishtail Palm Tree 08 M
Type of Plant: Palm Tree
The Fishtail Palm Tree is one of the first palm tree seeds that I was collecting in South Forida. I learned the hard way that there are certain seeds that you have to take care when you are working with them. This Fishtail Palm Tree is one of them.
The liquid in the seeds is very caustic and will have you going crazy trying to wash off the fluid which will give your hands the tingles. The tingles will drive you crazy before it stops. Wear gloves. Enjoy,
