Its multi-colored trunk, clean appearance, and dark green fronds have made the King Palm, a popular choice for homeowners in Southern California.
When it comes to color, the King Palm is one of the best palm tree varieties for Southern California. The trunk is smooth with a lime-green crown shaft, which is a collection of leaf bases of the plant all wrapped around one another. As the King Palm grows the oldest fronds pull away from the trunk exposing the brown trunk with growth rings. At the top, dark-green palm fronds rarely drop below the crown shaft adding a rich color that makes the lime-green crown shaft pop. If you need even more color, the King Palm also produces seasonal eye-catching flowers that bloom in purple with a white undertone.
King Palms are some of the best palms to plant around pools, in tropical landscape designs, or as focal points in front of a home for a 'wow' factor. As the King Palm develops, it does produce a great canopy of shade. Native to Queensland tropical rainforests in Australia, the King Palm is a slow-growing palm that requires minimal maintenance. At Moon Valley Nurseries, we grow our King Palms in full sun in our local climate. We also grow our King Palms from exceptional seeds and this process allows us to offer the best King Palms in Southern California. Our King Palms are extremely hardy, drought-resistant, and require minimal water.
