I dont know why but I like the name Watermelon for this palm. The crown shaft when mature will swell up and have similar color and markings very close to an actual watermelon. Not to mention the cool red leaf that emerges from the center appears to be the inside of the fruity part of the watermelon. So cool. I like flamethrower too for obvious reasons. (Posted on 3/4/16)

I liked the tree very much. Yes, I would recommend to a friend. Thank you (Posted on 3/2/16)

Flame Thrower Palm even had a red leaf coming out but then it turned green after a few days. (Posted on 2/11/16)

This is probably one of the coolest palm trees I have ever seen. I didn't even know palm trees could have color. The Flame Thrower really looks like a flame is emerging from the center. My draw dropped when I saw this and considering buy 1 maybe 2 but will they survive in Tampa? (Posted on 2/5/16)

I would like another one slightly bigger - please message me

I was getting nervous about this palm since I spent so much money on it. The red leaf is vibrant red, crazy. It had 3 green leaves when it arrived but after talking and communication with customer support they explained that the red does not stay on the leaves, and will soon go back to green within a couple of weeks. So every new leaf comes out red and then turns dark forest green.

Flamethrower Palm is very Nice and is a very slow grower. At one point I didnt think It was even growing. but then one leaf came out and it was red (Posted on 8/13/15)

I ordered this palm about two months ago and planted it in my yard. I followed the directions and it looks good and has grown new fronds must be a good sign. Now this is going to be the first winter here in New Jersey the temperatures are in the low 40's so hopefully it passes through the winter but it's November and I bought the 6 ft. So far so good.Also, the new red spears are starting to form. Even with snow on the ground. There is a kit for the cold weather. Ask a representative at RealPalmTrees .com to walk you through the process of keeping your tree alive during the cold seasons. The flame thrower palm is a beautiful palm when when properly cared for.Thanks everyone for the help and I will hopefully be ordering a few Fiji fan palms in the spring with free shipping. Customer service and promptness of the shipping is also appreciated.

Flame Thrower Palm Tree: Medium - This tree is awesome. I bought Two. I live in southern California and I hope they do well. I thought I saw one of these while driving so I went ahead and got two. (Posted on 11/20/14)

I bought a pair of these palms and have never bought palm trees before, but they are just as easy as as making a hole and putting them in the ground and putting water on them. I placed my order over the phone which took at least an hour with all my questions I had but when it arrived last week I got the sensation that I am going to need more...lol... Oh no my husbands going to kill me, but I think palms are beautiful especially if they shoot out a red leaf. (Posted on 2/20/13)
