Adonidia Palm Tree Care
Scientific Name
Adonidia merrillii
Light
The Christmas Palm, also known as the Manila Palm, thrives in bright, sunny conditions with partial shade being acceptable. To encourage the development of its striking red fruit clusters, providing the palm with full sun exposure for six to eight hours a day is ideal.
Water
Ensuring adequate moisture for the Manila Palm is crucial, especially in dry regions. While it can withstand short periods of drought, the tree’s growth and flowering will be noticeably affected without sufficient water. It’s recommended to provide supplemental watering of around 1 inch, but in drier areas, this may need to be increased to 2 inches. Applying a 3-inch layer of mulch around the base of the palm aids in moisture retention.
Hardiness Zones
The Christmas Palm tree plant is rated for Zones 10 to 11.

I am super excited my Christmas palm arrived! And as others mentioned, it is huge! Very happy with my purchase.
The Christmas palm tree arrived in a timely manner and well packaged and protected for shipping. Upon opening, to my delight was a cluster of 4 trees that are about 6 feet tall. It’s beautiful! Highly recommended.
