Cuban Royal Palm (Roystonea regia)

See Cuban Royal Palm grow notes for further information

For a truly memorable impression you can’t go past the Cuban Royal Palm! It’s an aristocrat of the plants, massive and symmetrical with a smooth trunk and growing up to 20m tall. Trunks are swollen at the base, constrict about halfway up and then bulges again just below the crown shaft. They are smooth and light grey and can get very thick, sometimes up to 60cm wide.

Cuban Royals are very fast growing, aren’t particular about soil and prefer high light, bright sunny positions. Likes water and looks best when given adequate amounts, especially during hot weather. They can survive a cold spell every now and then as long as it’s a short amount of time. Can look very good in summer in colder areas, but a little shabby towards the end of winter. Will grow near salt water and on the beach if set back from the first line of dunes.

This Royal palm is a must for every garden in warmer areas, and really typifies the Tropics. There is not a more impressive palm with which to line a driveway, park etc and provide a stately, eye-catching focal point.
