Double double royals

[redant]

I had planted these two doubles on purpose this way when they where just 3 gal size. They line my jungle trail where it is always wet. They have done quite well, this is a side shot for them, not the way most people see from the trail.

yeah, nice jungle look! I am a fan of doubles and triples. there is an interesting quadriple royal on 41 in bradenton in front of a furniture store. Three are large, one small(half size). Of course I prefer the jungle, not the storefront look...

Looks beautiful, don't you wish they would stay about this size? The downfall, twice as many leaves will come crashing down.

You don't see them planted like that very often and yet they look great as doubles.

I have over 80 royals on my property, not a day goes by without picking up a couple of massive fronds and dragging them out front, it keeps me in shape!

Yes...doubles and triples look great IMO.

They take on an "Adonidia on Steroids" look.

Here's a "bunch" of Royals I photographed last year in Hollywood, Fl. The grouping really caught my eye.

Very interesting!
Thank you for showing these examples!

I have so many seedlings of the Roystonea fruits I collected on the lawn of Hotel Suisse in Kandy last april (lovely 30's building actually built by swiss owners at this time of Ceylon) that I'll do it.

But at which size should I plant them, not too small?

After reading this thread, I saw this group of royals in Hilo, Hawaii. Looks pretty cool! Not sure I'd park my car there, though...
