Plant Profile

Roystonea regia (Royal palm)

Notably popular as street or specimen trees, Royal Palms make a neat, tidy, yet stately landscape element for large landscapes, often reaching 25 m in height. It has a tall, smooth, cement grey trunks. Leaves are feather look like, deep green. Flowers are incredibly fragrant, produced periodically throughout the year but mostly in summer. The old leaves should be removed before they drop since they can cause injury or damage to plants or property when allowed to fall. One leaf will fall about every month. Royal Palms grow quite rapidly when given an abundance of water and fertilizer in full sun or dappled shade. They withstand strong winds and salt spray very well It is not really suited for beach side planting as Sabal Palm is.
