They are handsome and stately. They look stunning planted as a single specimen or in groups. King Palm Archontophoenix features a large crown. This crown holds dark green to grass-green colored leaflets that are up to 10-feet long, so they can create plenty of shade, wherever they are planted. Their slender and smooth green trunks are begging you to wrap your arms around them!

These palms are native to the rainforests of Queensland, Australia, a place noted for its lush, tropical beauty. Here in Southern California, they are often found lining a long driveway, where their presence is sure to create a luxurious entrance. Of course, if you are creating a tropical retreat, planting them in clusters at the end of a swimming pool is an excellent way to bring paradise home. Hang out poolside and take in the beauty of their slender trunks and elegant canopies reflecting in the still water. California sunsets are famous for their majestic view. King Palms let you enjoy our glorious sunset while it creates an impressive silhouette, and does it without blocking too much of your view!
