Royal Palm Plant - Cuban Royal Palm Tree, Roystonea Regia Palm

The Cuban Royal Palm (Roystonea regia) also known as simply royal palm, is straight from the Caribbean Islands. This majestic palm tree grows best in direct sunlight with moderate watering. The Cuban Royal Palm grows from 40 to 60 feet tall and a beautiful crown of pinnate leaves sometimes over 20 feet diameter. The grey trunk of the Cuban royal develops an elongated bulge that sometimes rises to the middle of the tree. The Cuban Royal Palm does best in full sun with well-drained soil that is slightly acidic. When mature, the Cuban Royal Palm is moderately drought tolerant and can withstand brief periods of cold down to 28°F. But it is best grown in frost-free areas where it can thrive. With its large trunk and large green spread of leaves, the showy Cuban Royal Palm symbolizes the tropics.
