The Royal Palm (Roystonea regia) is Florida’s monument palm — a smooth, concrete-gray column rising 50 feet and more, crowned by a glossy green crownshaft and huge plume-like fronds. A Florida native that lines the state’s most famous boulevards, it’s the palm you plant when the landscape calls for genuine grandeur.
Why Florida Customers Choose Us
Royal Palm Breakdown
Appearance:
A massive, smooth trunk — often gently swollen mid-column — topped with a bright green, self-shedding crownshaft and arching fronds up to 10 feet long.
Unmistakably formal and stately.
Growth Rate:
Fast for its size, adding a foot or more of trunk per year in good conditions.
Size:
50–80 feet at maturity with a 20-foot crown spread.
This is a palm for open lawns, long driveways, and large properties.
Sunlight Requirements:
Full sun.
Water Needs:
Moderate.
Native to Florida's wetter soils, it appreciates regular water and tolerates brief flooding better than most palms; established trees handle normal dry seasons.
Soil Preferences:
Adaptable; performs in sandy soils with feeding.
Not fussy about drainage extremes in either direction.
Maintenance:
Low — and no climbing required.
The crownshaft sheds old fronds cleanly on its own. Note: falling fronds are heavy, so site the palm away from parking spots. Feed with palm fertilizer 2–3 times a year to keep the crown full.
Landscape Use:
Driveway allées, property entrances, estate lawns, streetscapes, and commercial frontage.
Planted in matched rows, nothing else in Florida landscaping makes the same statement.
Climate Tolerance:
USDA zones 10–11.
At home in coastal and inland South Florida; damaged by hard frost.
A pair of Royals flanking an entrance, or a row pacing a driveway, defines a property from the street. Plant them with room to reach full height — this is a palm you buy once and look up at for decades.

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.
