Archontophoenix cunninghamiana ~ King Palm

This stately palm can best be described as clean cut.  The trunk and leaves are smooth green above and a little grey below.  The leaves can get  to 10 to 15 feet.  The King Palm can get to 50' tall if it is happy.  Young trees can be killed by frost colder than 28 degrees.   Older tree's leaves will be damaged at that temperature or by wind.  The fronds are held out well until they drop.  It was once known as Seaforthia elegans.
