Description

The Christmas Palm (Veitchia merrillii), also commonly called the Manila Palm, is a beloved ornamental tree native to the Philippines and widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions. This palm is prized for its tidy, symmetrical growth habit, reaching heights of 15 to 25 feet, which makes it ideal for small yards, patios, or accent planting. Its smooth, slender trunk is topped with a lush crown of pinnate, feather-like fronds that provide a tropical feel without overwhelming the landscape. One of its most distinguishing features is the cluster of bright red fruits that ripen in late fall and winter, often coinciding with the holiday season—hence its common name, “Christmas Palm.” These colorful berries not only enhance the tree’s ornamental value but also attract birds. The Christmas Palm is low-maintenance, preferring full sun and well-drained soil, and it tolerates urban conditions well, including some pollution and salt spray. It’s often planted singly, in small groups, or even in rows for a dramatic avenue effect. While generally disease-resistant, it can be susceptible to palm pests and nutritional deficiencies if not properly cared for. With its compact size, aesthetic appeal, and festive seasonal charm, the Christmas Palm remains a favorite choice for tropical and coastal landscapes.
