I'm planning on moving my tort outside this summer and would love to add a palm to the enclosure-

My local Lowes has a bunch of giant palms. I've seen a bunch of posts saying that palms are safe to use. Is that correct for all types? I'm not seeing anything on the Tortoise Table and wanted to double check.

I've attached the specific plant I was looking at!

I have palms in my biggest enclosure and they don't mess with it. Most enclosures in south FL have palms in them and those tortoises are fine. I don't know that particular species, but I'd be willing to bet it is fine. Make sure they will survive your winters. My local Lowes and HD sell all sorts of plants that won't survive in my area.
