Royals

[Daryl]

As common as they are, they are still magnificent palms for an avenue...these ones enjoying our winter sunshine for sure...

They are the biggest show stoppers in the palm world for me. Here in Socal they are quite rare so the 2 I have in my yard represent the second and third largest Royals in my city. 
once mature the sheer size mixed with the bright green crown demands attention.

I wish I had room for one... They are so beautiful...

Yes, after the CIDP's, they are my favorite palms. SoCal has CIDP's like we have royals here in Florida. As Florida natives, royals love hot humid weather, but seem to adapt to SoCal's dryer weather, as I've seen several pictures of royals there.  Sometimes it only takes a few persons with some seed and determination to introduce a palm to an area. You might consider getting some seed and starting a royal palm movement. They're super easy to grow from seed and quickly grow to a decent size.

My 30+ year old royal has provided many 1,000s of seeds and seedlings to people all over the US and the world. She is the mother of many royals in CA. She earns the mulch and fertilizer I give her.

I wish I could grow them up this way no NE FL but out of luck.
