Archontophoenix cunninghamiana
King Palm, Bangalow Palm
This elegant and fire resistant palm tree grows quickly and produces lilac flowers. When this solitary palm is grown together from seeds it produces a picturesque lean. We grow these palms as singles, doubles, triples and even quadruples! These trees are slow to deroot, requiring 30-60 days to ensure they do not shock. Keep the heads of these trees tied for an additional 60 days after delivery for optimal transplanting.

What makes our plants so special? Our location on the cliffs of Santa Barbara receives over 280 days of sunshine a year and we utilize our indigenous soil, mixing it with a specialized amendment. Our plants are routinely watered, fertilized, and trimmed. We always aid our plants to proper health when needs arise, and we do so without the use of sprays.
