Especially in the favorable Brisbane QLD climate. Golden cane palm trees thrive in Australia.

Growing Golden Cane Palm Tree in Brisbane
The conditions necessary for a golden cane palm to grow are all available in Brisbane.
However, here is how you should plant the golden cane palm:
I. Ensure that you plant in spring or summer. During this time, soil temperature is at 65 degrees F which is ideal for the golden cane palm.
II. Plant the golden cane palm in fertile soil that is moist but also has excellent drainage.
III. Regularly water the palm tree. This can be at least twice a week
IV. Every once in a year, apply fertilizer to the golden cane palm
V. Don’t forget to care for the plant. Golden cane palm care involves pruning and also weeding the soil around the plant.
Golden Cane Palm Pruning
For effective pruning, only prune the fronds that are dead or showing signs of dying.
Don’t remove green fronds because they are the source of nutrients for the plant.
For the dead fronds, cut them down at the trunk.
When pruning, leave two rows of mature, healthy fronds for the trunk to feed off.
Golden Cane Palm Removal
Before removal, it is important to mention that the golden cane palm propagation is effective.
To propagate, take the offshoot growing at the base and ensure that you remove it with its roots.
You can then plant it elsewhere, and with the right care, it’ll grow.
Since the golden cane palm tree is also known as the bamboo palm tree, it is often known for being messy when it begins dropping fronds or when the base grows too large.
