Cardboard PalmDear neighbors,
We wanted to draw your attention to the fact that there’s a cardboard palm on Castilla Isle. This type of palm is quite harmful to humans, and to dogs to the point that it could be fatal for them if ingested.
What is Cardboard Palm Poisoning?
The coontie palm usually grows in warm climates like Florida, Louisiana, North Carolina, and Texas. Most often it is found in yards as an ornamental tree, but some people keep them as indoor plants. These have also started growing wild, mostly in Louisiana and Florida along the highways. These palms are short and wide with fern-like leaves and a large cone (female) or several smaller cones (males) in the middle. While the entire plant is poisonous, it is the seeds in the cones that are deadly.
