Copernicia alba, also known as Caranday Wax Palm, is a tall, evergreen palm native to the humid parts of the Gran Chaco in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, and Paraguay.

The Copernicia alba is a slow grower. This palm can grow up to 40 feet tall and in the wild the Caranday Palm has been known to reach heights of 60 to 70 feet.

The Caranday palm is easy to grow and maintain. To prevent any deficiency, you should apply a good quality palm fertilizer slow release formula twice a year.

Overall, the Copernicia alba Palm is a unique, stunning attractive palm tree that can add beauty and interest to any landscape, its large silvery-blue fan-shaped fronds form in clusters atop a single trunk.

Care & Maintainance

Care Guide

Planting, When planting dig a hole twice as wide than your new plant's root ball and deep enough so that the top of the root ball is parallel with the ground level, this is very important, planting the plant deeper than the original top soil line may severely damage the tree. Place the plant in the hole and ensure that it is situated upright, use the excavated soil to back fill around the root ball, tamp down to ensure air pockets are eliminated, thoroughly soak with a hose as you fill in the dirt. Take great care to not leave any gaps or air spaces around the root ball. A 2-3 inch layer of organic hardwood mulch is strongly recommended, it will help retain moisture and discourage weed growth. Apply the mulch over the entire planting area.

Light, Thrives in partial shade, tolerates full sun.

Water twice a week for the first growing season, twice weekly for potted plants.

Fertilizing, no need to fertilize right away, We fertilize our plants during the production phase with slow release fertilizer which can last an additional 2-3 months supplying residual nutrients to the plant. Fertilize during spring or fall base on label instructions. You may use a fertilizer formulated for interior plants, preferably a slow release fertilizer 180 days duration.

Insects and Disease - Here’s another plus, Palms are not regularly affected by pests, however in the event that scale, mealy bugs, or mites are found to affect the plant, they can be controlled by applying horticultural neem oil that can be sprayed directly onto the insects, A second and third treatment, when using oils, will be necessary. Space out the sprays at 2 weeks intervals to break up the mealybug life cycle.
