Welcome to our Madagascar Palm care guide.
Pachypodium lamerei, the Madagascar Palm, or Cactus Palm Tree, is a wonderfully weird-looking hardy plant native to the African island of Madagascar.
Although the Madagascar Palm Pachypodium lamerei has a rosette of palm-like green leaves and is covered in sharp spines on its spindly trunk, like a cactus plant, Madagascar Palms are not true palms, neither are they a cactus.
