Areca palms (Dypsis lutescens) are tall, clumping palms with smooth trunks that are reminiscent of bamboo clumps. Their fronds are narrow, almost like bamboo leaves. These low-maintenance, air-purifying palms grow about half a foot per year indoors, ultimately reaching about 8 feet.
In the summer, small, bright yellow but inconspicuous flowers grow from below the fronds. Although endangered species in its native Madagascar, the areca palm beauty is a common sight in outdoor plantings in the United States where it grows in warm climates, often lining streets or used as a privacy screen.
