I am a tall, ornamental palm tree with a smooth, grey-white trunk and a crown of feather-like fronds. My regal appearance makes me a symbol of tropical elegance.

Native to Cuba and southern Florida, I am now cultivated worldwide in tropical and subtropical regions, including India.

I require moderate watering, especially when young. Once established, I tolerate dry spells but thrive with regular irrigation.

I flourish in full sun, which enhances my growth and crown spread. Shade reduces my vigor.

I thrive in warm climates between 25–35°C. I am sensitive to frost but tolerate coastal humidity and heat well.

Plant me in well-drained sandy or loamy soil with spacing of 6–8 meters. I am ideal for avenues, resorts, and large gardens.

I respond well to organic manure and balanced NPK fertilizer. Feeding during growth years ensures a strong trunk and lush fronds.

Botanical name: Roystonea regia. Family: Arecaceae. I can reach heights of 20–30 meters with a crown spread of 6–8 meters.

I am non-toxic to pets, though my large fronds may pose a physical hazard if they fall.

Moderate; my large fronds trap dust and improve microclimates in urban landscapes.

I provide ornamental grandeur, shade, and ecological value. My presence enhances landscapes, resorts, and city avenues.

I am generally hardy but may suffer from bud rot, Ganoderma butt rot, or nutrient deficiencies (potassium, magnesium).

I can live 80–100 years, standing tall as a landmark tree in landscapes and avenues.
