Originating from the Caribbean and Florida’s wetlands, the Royal Palm stands as a majestic emblem of tropical and subtropical landscapes. Revered for its tall, slender trunk and beautifully feathered fronds, this palm elegantly punctuates skylines and serves as a centerpiece in various settings. The Royal Palm boasts a fast growth rate under optimal conditions. Mature specimens can soar to impressive heights of 50-80 feet, with some even reaching up to 100 feet. Naturally inclined to bask in sunlight, the Royal Palm thrives in full sun exposures. Such conditions not only promote healthy growth but also enhance its lustrous appearance. This palm prefers well-draining soil and appreciates consistent moisture, especially in its younger stages. Once established, it demonstrates moderate drought tolerance but benefits from regular watering during prolonged dry periods. The Royal Palm is characterized by its smooth, gray trunk that often appears slightly swollen in the middle. Atop this column rests a crown of large, plume-like fronds that fan out gracefully. It’s essential to provide the tree with ample space to accommodate its eventual size. With its statuesque elegance and iconic silhouette, the Royal Palm is more than just a plant—it’s an architectural statement. Whether it’s lining boulevards, gracing entrances, or standing solitary in expansive landscapes, its regal presence invariably elevates the aesthetic quotient of its surroundings.
Frequently Asked Questions
How to Plant & Care for Royal Palm in Florida
Choose Sun + Clearance
Palms prefer full to partial sun. Allow room for frond spread and future trunk growth.
Plant Slightly High
Dig a wide hole and plant with the root ball level to slightly above grade. Palms do not like being buried.
Backfill + Water In
Backfill with native soil and water thoroughly to settle. Avoid compacting too aggressively.
Consistent Watering (Critical)
Water deeply and consistently during the first few weeks. Most palm issues come from under-watering early on.
Fertilizer + Pruning
Remove only fully brown fronds. Apply a slow-release palm fertilizer after the palm has settled in.

What Florida Customers Say
Excellent communication and awesome product! At an incredible price too! We're really happy with our new palm trees 🌴 Thank you so much!
My experiences with Dinos have been wonderful. The communication about my orders & delivery was spot on, the deliveries guys quick, efficient and friendly - they even cleaned up fallen leaves from the driveway. But its the product that shined the most. Healthy, lush, vibrant. The same size posts as local nurseries - but the plants themselves were larger, fuller and more robust than anywhere we shopped. I cant say enough great things about their operations, their services and their products.
Bought three plants from this company, Dino and his wife are very helpful and pretty good delivery speed if you live in West Palm Beach (free delivery). The plants are healthy, vibrant, and very well established and much better than the product you find online or via Home Depot. You get more plant for the money and the deals are pretty good. Once you buy one plant, you'll be impressed and purchase more.
