Design with this plant

Overview

The Royal Palm (Roystonea regia) exudes regality with its smooth, grey trunk, soaring elegantly up to 66-98 feet. Boasting a majestic crown of large, feathery fronds spanning 10-15 feet, this iconic palm thrives in full sun with moderate water. Hardy in Zones 10-11, it's the perfect vertical accent for tropical landscapes, requiring ample space to showcase its splendid 3-4 feet diameter base. Adds instant grandeur to any setting.
