| I Bought this Royal palm in central Florida yesterday. A place called orchids in Sebastian. FL. Only $215. would have been well over $700 at any other nursery. It was planted there from seed a few years ago i was told. I am really pushing the palm limits here in jax, but i love it!!! |

Jason that Royal looks great in your yard there. Royals are quite a bit more hardy than most give credit for. They can take year after year defoliation, and grow a new canopy rather quickly. Also handle light to moderate frost MUCH better than a coconut. All the royals I've seen around Orlando passed this years hard freeze with flying colors. Some
damage yes, but very much alive and kicking. |

| Royal, that is great to know! i think the royal palm is my favorite of all palms! My neighbors seen it today and thought it was amazing! most of them are from the north, so i dont think they have never seen this type of palm before. i am sure i am the only one here in jax with a royal unless someone else comes forward |

| Looks great. Hard to protect at that size, but hopefully this winter will be more average and you wont need to give it too much protection. Good luck |

| Hey, my yard has been a construction zone for a while, gimmie a break! ;) |
RE: My new Royal Palm Pics!!! (Jacksonville, FL)

| Looking good and tropical. Shouldn't the coco palm be planted within 6 feet of the southern part of your home to give it a zone boost?
Its out in the open a lot and will need winter wraping during cold snaps. |

| Nice -pretty palm

| and, so how is it and the coconut doing now? |
RE: My new Royal Palm Pics!!! (Jacksonville, FL)
| | |
| Yes a real great looker. Good price too. How's it comming along? The Madeira temp is 16C in winter, and upto 30 C rest of year. Can the Cuban Royal Palm cope with these temps? ( I take it yours is a Cuban)? |
RE: My new Royal Palm Pics!!! (Jacksonville, FL)
| | |
| Yes, Roystonea regia can do fine with those temps |

| Jaxboro, my cocnut palm i ended up giving to my neighboor. it has already died. he must have not really watered or something. Were my cocnut palm was, i moved my foxtail too. the foxtail hasnt done bad this summer, but not too green of leaves. my royal is doing fine. i also talked my neighboor into getting a royal which he did. its about the same size as mine. how are yours doing??? |
RE: My new Royal Palm Pics!!! (Jacksonville, FL)

| Where ever in the world I see Royals, it's never really green in top condition. What's the secret in keeping it green? Does too much full sun make it go brown looking? |

| garyiryna, as you know, i live In jacksonville, were these palms are really not exsistent. I bought this Royal near west palm beach this past April. the dead leaves you see are the ones that were on there when i bought the tree. That pic was taken months ago. i have new fonds on there now, but the same ones are still one there. we will see how this palm survives this winter up here. i will have it covered for sure. we will see if it lives |
