Florida Gardening Danger: Poisonous Palm Trees
Pacific Copa Palm (Iriartea deltoidea)
Pacific Copa Palm (Iriartea deltoidea) is native to the Pacific coast rainforests of Central and South America, from Ecuador to Bolivia. It is a canopy tree growing to 20m–35m tall. 4-7 large, dark green, plumose leaves sit at the top of a thick, grey trunk that is often swollen in the middle. The fronds are up to 5m long, and feather shaped. The numerous pinnae are fan-shaped and held in various planes. A dense thicket of black stilt roots grows out of its base.
