Hey everybody! I have a design for my backyard and I have a question; the tall plant in the middle is supposed to be rhapis humilis here's what I have in mind PlantFiles: Picture #9 of Slender Lady Palm (Rhapis humilis) I don't think I can grow it here, but I would love too! Do you think I could cut the stems down and mulch it and cover it with burlap or is it to slow growing?

Or instead, does anybody know a plant similar that could replace it? Like bamboo? I would really appreciate your thoughts. Thanks!!!!!!!!
