Areca palm and Dypsis lutescens are two names for the same species; a third common name, golden cane palm, refers to it again. This product uses both the common and botanical name together, which is a small confirmation the naming is applied correctly rather than mixed up with a different species.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this palm actually UV resistant?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's described as UV resistant and not easy to fade. There's no numeric rating, test standard, or certificate number attached to that claim, so treat it as a real but unquantified feature. If you need a specific UV rating for a commercial fit-out, ask us before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow full does the pair look together?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach tree carries 15 arching fronds at 63 in, so you're getting 30 fronds total across the pair rather than one denser single tree. Grouped together, two moderately full trees read fuller as a pair than either would alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I split the pair and use the trees separately?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — you can place the two trees wherever you like once they arrive. This is priced and sold as a set of two, so there's no separate single-tree price for just one.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eververda","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48234590666988,"sku":"EV-PLM-0649","price":419.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0840\/5263\/9980\/files\/hf_20260830_231538_5b5edf3f-73ab-4e9a-ae0f-9600ced371b5.png?v=1788133898","url":"https:\/\/checkout.eververda.com\/products\/artificial-areca-palm-dypsis-lutescens-5-2-ft-uv-resistant-set-of-2","provider":"Eververda","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
