Archontophoenix cunninghamiana, commonly known as King Palm, Bangalow Palm, or Piccabeen Palm, is a handsome and stately palm. Its arching, feathery leaves are vibrant green on top and greyish-green underneath. The old leaves shed cleanly, revealing a smooth grey trunk.
This tropical palm from Australia is best suited for nearly frost-free areas. It thrives in full sun to partial shade in coastal gardens and requires occasional summer watering. In hotter, arid climates, providing afternoon shade is essential to prevent leaf tip burn. Native to rainforests, swampy areas, and riverbanks, the King Palm prefers moist soil with good drainage.
How tall does a King Palm grow?
In landscapes, King Palms usually reach 30–40 feet tall with a slender trunk and a crown of arching fronds. They grow quickly and can add height to a garden in just a few years.
How fast does a King Palm grow?
King Palms are fast growers—about 2–3 feet per year in warm climates with regular water. They thrive in coastal and mild inland areas.
What kind of sunlight and soil do they prefer?
King Palms grow best in full sun to light shade and like rich, well-draining soil. They appreciate regular watering, especially in hot or dry weather.
How much water does a King Palm need?
Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. They’re not drought-tolerant and look their best with consistent watering during dry months.
