how fast does a areca palm grow
Areca palms are slow to moderate growers for sun or shade and can reach heights of 15 to 20 feet. They're wider at the top - sometimes 8 to 10 feet or more in diameter - so allow enough room for the palm to grow a tropical canopy over nearby plants. Zone 10 is best, though in warmer areas of Zone 9B that border 10A, you can use an areca in a protected spot.
