The Cabbage Palm Tree is often used as a street planting. It can, however, benefit a home landscape setting. Although cabbage palms have been known to reach heights of 90 feet, they generally remain under 50 feet tall. Their trunks are fibrous and their foliage dense, which consequently provides individuals with a nice shady area to take refuge under during those hot summer months. Novice gardeners need not worry, as caring for a cabbage palm is quite basic.
