₹250.00

Borassus flabellifer, commonly known as the Palmyra Palm or Toddy Palm, is a tall, robust palm native to the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. Valued for its cultural, economic, and ecological significance, it produces fan-shaped leaves, edible fruits, and a sweet sap tapped for toddy and jaggery. This iconic tree is deeply rooted in traditional agriculture and thrives in hot, dry climates. Supplied in a 1-inch net pot — plant directly with the net pot into a larger container or nursery bag. This palm grows slowly at first but is incredibly hardy.
