Areca Palm / Golden Cane Palm / Butterfly Palm / Yellow Palm
Botanical Name: Dypsis lutescens
Family: Arecaceae
Origin: Madagascar
Plant Type: Evergreen clumping palm
Overview
The Golden Cane Palm is a lush, resort-style statement for South Australian gardens. Multi-stemmed canes with a natural golden/yellow tint carry graceful, arching green fronds that move beautifully in the breeze. In warm months it shows creamy flower sprays followed by yellow-to-orange fruit. Ideal for tropical looks, poolside screening and big pots in temperate/coastal Mediterranean climates.
Key Features
- Mature Size: 3–6 m H × 2–4 m W (smaller in pots)
- Growth Rate: 30-60 cm per year under good conditions
- Foliage: Feathery, arching fronds on golden canes; dense, clumping habit
-
Flowers: Warm-season panicles; decorative fruits follow
- Seasonal Interest: Year-round evergreen structure; peak tropical look in spring–summer flushes
- Wildlife Value: Flowers provide nectar/pollen for insects; fruits may interest birds
- Tolerance: Drought-tolerant (once established), heat-tolerant, wind-tolerant; second-line coastal-tolerant; not frost hardy (protect from frost)
- Planting Density: Screens/hedges: 1.0–1.5 m centres (closer for faster fill)
- Pet Friendly: Yes — non-toxic to cats and dogs (a safe “pet-friendly palm”)
Where It Works Best
- Sunlight: Full sun to bright part shade (give light afternoon shade inland to prevent tip scorch)
- Soil: Free-draining sandy or loamy soils; improve/clay-break heavy clay or plant on raised mounds; avoid waterlogging
- Water Needs: Establishment: 2 deep soaks/week for 8–12 weeks. Established: deep soak every 7–10 days in summer; monthly in winter if dry (pots need more frequent watering)
- Maintenance: Mulch; remove spent/brown fronds at the base; do not cut green canes; slow-release palm fertiliser in spring (incl. Mg/Mn)
- Lifespan: 20–40+ years (long-lived with frost protection)
- Climate Zones: Suited to temperate & Mediterranean SA gardens in sheltered, frost-protected positions, including coastal areas
- Soil pH: Slightly acid to Neutral
Landscape & Design Ideas
- Lush privacy screen beside pools, patios and fences (soft, non-spiky look)
- Tropical accent in pairs or clusters; underplant with clivia, aspidistra and lomandra
- Large containers for courtyards and entries; group for resort vibes

Fast, reliable and instantly tropical. Golden Cane Palm gives you graceful fronds, golden canes, excellent heat/dry tolerance once established, and pet-safe peace of mind — a standout screening and feature palm for SA gardens.

Other Words for Home
Format: Hardcover
Other Words for Home by Jasmine Warga is a book that has melted my heart. From the moment I picked up this verse novel, I was engrossed in the story and the courage of the characters.
Jude, the main character, is a young girl from Syria. Her family has been separated by the unrest and violence in her country. To keep Jude and her mother safe, Jude's father has sent them both to live with an uncle in America.
Life in America is challenging and scary. Jude is finding herself continually heeding her brother's words to "be brave." Taking his words to heart, Jude holds her head high as she starts school in America, meets new friends, and tries to find a balance between her life in America and her life in Syria. She even emulates his example and makes the choice to audition for the musical at her new American school.
Other Words for Home is a modern-day story of immigration and bravery. It tells the story of one young girl's desire to start her new life in America while she still honors the family and life she left behind in Syria. It hits on the struggles of fitting in, learning a new language, and the realities of racism and intolerance that happens even here in America.
As I was reading Other Words for Home, I got lost in the poetic words that just flowed from the pages. They were melodic and entrancing. Jasmine Warga has a talent that I would put right up there with other verse novelists, such as K.A. Holt and Kwame Alexander.
The verse novel structure was done with perfection, and it was a beautiful asset to Jude's story.

All the stars, hugs, ice cream cones, and applause for this gorgeous, heartwarming, important, perfect, middle grade book written in free verse.
In her acknowledgments, Jasmine Warga said, “It wasn’t until I found Jude’s voice that the book was really born. I wrote Jude for my twelve-year-old self, who never saw a brown girl in a book who was proud of her family and where she came from. A brown girl with hopes and dreams of her own.”
The voice Jasmine found for her main character, Jude, is astonishingly authentic, wonderfully observant, and filled with love and hope and strength. Jude’s voice combined with the free verse blew me away for its lack of pretension, naturalness, and profound beauty. I was worried that the free verse would feel forced, especially coming out of a twelve year old’s mouth, but instead it’s surprisingly organic and easy to read.
This is a Syrian refugee story that reveals what should be obvious: that refugees want what everyone wants: to be happy, to be safe, and to be themselves.
Jude’s story is told with humor and heart and understanding and joy. It’s possibly my favorite book I’ve read so far this year.

This gorgeous MG novel in verse is a MUST READ!
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
Words cannot adequately express how much Jordanian-American author Jasmine Warga’s novel “Other Words for Home” means to me.
Growing up, I never read stories about people like me or families like my own because they simply didn’t exist. Books with Arab and/or Arab-American characters, being wholly human, navigating issues of identity and belonging, interrogating what “home” means were never written. Too bad.
I’m elated that that’s changing, though, and that there are Arab-Americans who are writing these stories *with such immense skill and heart.*
This is the first middle grade novel I’ve read in literally decades and it just encouraged me to order many more. It is poetic and hopeful and so thoughtfully written. I can barely remember the last time I loved a character as much as I love brave and precious Jude.
I cried and cheered many times along this journey.
Seriously, if you work with middle graders, have middle graders, or are a lover of children’s literature yourself—YOU MUST check out this gorgeous novel in verse.
The only downside (and it's a big one) is that it ends.
