A beautiful form of a King Palm, which is becoming more
popular, yet is far from being well known in Southern
California. Some believe this is the most beautiful and
tallest form of the Archontophoenix (King Palm) species.
Unlike the more popular Arch. Cunninghiama (Hardy
King) shaft; which is longer than its cousin, then finally
fades into the grey trunk like the others.
It's leaves also resemble more of a Arch. Alexandrea
and Purpurea with darker leaflets, glossy and glaucous
underneath. These palms are also rare since they are
only found in one area of North Queensland, Australia;
along the Myola Creek and nowhere else in the world.
The Myola King Palm likes well drained soil to resemble
the volcanic soil in its native habitat, but it doesn't
mind having too much water. This king is not as hardy
as its common cousin, but it can still take temperatures
down to 28F degrees and an occasional frost, without
dying.
In its natural habitat the population is seriously
threatened by habitat clearance and is estimated to
contain fewer than 100 mature trees and remains
unprotected. Regeneration is good.
Distribution is limited. Invasive weeds have prevented
the expansion of the remaining rain forest habitat.
Seedlings are washed away by floods.
Some believe these may out-number the typical King
Palm here in Southern California. Get yours first with
us as we carry healthy 2-3 seedlings in singles and
multiples.
