Roystonea regia seed
LATIN NAME: Roystonea regia
COMMON NAME: Royal Palm
The royal palm is the column of the avenue, and the smooth, grey trunk rises like a clean pillar above the crown of the feathery fronds. The tall, stately, evergreen palm carries the smooth, grey, ringed trunk and the long, arching, feathery fronds, with the big, branched panicles of the small, cream flowers through the warm season, to be followed by the clusters of the small, dark fruits. The palm is a fine, bold presence of the warm avenue, the boulevard and the large garden. It is a palm of the open, sunny, well-drained ground.
Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology
The royal palm is a stately subject of the plant science, and the smooth, grey trunks keep showing up in the work on the tropical palms. The way the palms grow so tall and straight has been examined closely, and it keeps appearing in the studies of the landscape palms, the avenue plantings and the members of the palm family. The long, arching fronds and the ringed trunks have also made it a fine garden palm, and the royal palm is a regular subject of the work on the bold palms of the warm world.
Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications
The royal palm is a fine, bold palm of the warm avenue and the large garden. The smooth, grey trunks rise in the clean, straight lines, carrying the long, arching, feathery fronds, and the big, branched panicles of the cream flowers draw the bees through the warm season. The palm is one of the fine choices for the avenue, the boulevard and the statement planting of the warm regions, and the straight trunks carry the fine, ornamental grace of the tropics. It has been written about in the horticultural papers for the clean trunks and the bold, upright ways, and it is a fine, long-lived palm of the open, sunny, well-drained garden.
The royal palm is one of the stately palms of the warm avenue, and the smooth, grey trunks rise in the clean, straight lines. The long, arching fronds sway above the boulevard through the year.
To grow the royal palm from seed, sow the large, round seeds a little below the surface of a tray of loose, free-draining soil, keep the tray in a warm, bright spot and water gently. The seedlings are up within a few weeks and grow on steadily. With the sun, the warmth and the well-drained ground, the feathery crown will rise through the years.
