Fresno california here. I love these palms but never see any in this aria so I've been hesitant on planting them. Your palm proves they do well in this aria and I will be getting some soon. Thankyou for the video
Ive grown them here for 20 to 30 years, they can get a lil damage on coldest morning.
This palm appears to be quite tolerant of the cold and heat in my zone 9b climate. I be making several more palm videos, dont for get to hit the SUBSCRIBE button to get notification of my latest videos. 🌴🌴🌴
Beautiful palm! Very healthy looking and gorgeous Color!
Thanks Cody!
Great palm Jeff, many thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it
One of my favorite palms! Getting ready to plant this palm in zone 9a South Georgia. Can we see an update on how it’s doing soon?

Hopefully you are subscribed to channel as I have many more to come ...

Excellent
Beautiful palm. I have a couple of small seedlings inside the house in NE uk. Your King palm looks superb 👍
The nice thing is they don’t mind cool weather so you can keep outdoors as long as it’s not freezing.
very nice palm tree.
Thank you! Cheers!
Looking good Jeff!
Thank you!

I’ve been trying to grow Queen Palms for 15 years the gofers love them they eat them up like candy roots, stalk & all I recently built wire baskets for them I’ll see what happens I also gonna try some king palms I like them even better.
Would love to see and update on this beauty, this is my first winter with two king palms in my new backyard around pool, and one is looking a little sad
Soon!
Beautiful king palm. Good job. What dirt would you recommend for potted king palms?
For the long haul I use a peat /sand/perlite mix
Great videos! I came here from PalmTalk and now I’m a subscriber. I’m up the road in Manteca, so almost identical climate. How much growth do you get? I am getting about 5 fronds per year from my seedlings (still in pots) over the summer, and no growth over the winter months. Is this what you see or should I change things up? Thanks!
The king is growing at about 1 ft trunk each year!
Stay tuned as I have several other rare palms that I plan on making videos on.
I clicked like and got the 101 like🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Sweet!
How do you keep them grown and green, I live in Lake Elsinore, CA, and temperatures here are well over 105 degrees here in summer. All my baby king palm sun burn , look like it survived but burn badly
Good drainage
HI you should try bottle palms. They would do great in your yard
One of these days!
Hi question I am in kern valley. We hit the triples in summer 115 will these tree survive the heat? I really want some its beautiful.
Mine did fine in 112f heat
It may be alright for a few years there but eventually it will die. We here in Guilford are a Subtropical oceanic dessert so I have a potted palm. There are subtropical islands off the coast of England that have massive king palms You will need to protect that one.
It does get nipped by hard freezes but does fine .
@@TropicalGardenGuy Eventually it will die and shrivel up. I would move to the coast to grow one.
Hello Jeff , hey I just bought a king palm from Lowes but mine has a big stem and then two smaller stems on the side .
That’s called a triple.
There’s three palms in one container
How deep do you have to plant a king palm? I ask because I live in OC California and I have a few in my backyard, and this latest Winter Storm with winds of 50mph knocked down one of my Palms, it is about 12 feet tall, should I replant deeper?
No, don’t plant it deeper than the rootball.
Just water deeper
Thank you! I will follow your advice.
Very informative video. I gor a 3G of Archontophoenix alexandrae (king) from Home depot yesterday. How tall would it grow? I am in Bay Area zone 9b. Will it survive our colds? recently its been cold and frost. The tree is 3-4feet tall.
The Alexander king is a little less hardy than the regular king
@@TropicalGardenGuy thanks!
Hi pretty - Which home depot sells king Alexandrae? I am in East Bay and I was told Alexandrae is really fast growing and more wind and heat tolerant. Some says less cold hardy but others say same if not more cold hardy.
@@moalbarazi4802 I found it at home depot on hillsdale san jose.
Have you tried to grow foxtail palms? How is the king doing now?
Yes, it eventually died.
I think one would grow in the spot next to my mango.
King is doing great.
Thinking about doing an update video
Can it be grown in a container? Do you know if date palms can grow in Central Valley?
Yea date palms can be grown here no problems, the date ripening is a hit or miss.
Yes king palms do fine for quite awhile in a big pot.
I’ve seen them as big as mine in a wine barrel!
Jeff, is there 1 key in keeping your palms healthy in our valley? Like, how do you keep the king palm from burning in the summer sun? Do you just make sure it is heavily watered prior and during he hottest months? Or is there more to it? Please don’t be modest. 😉
SOIL NUTRITION ! Lol… You’d be amazed to see how much heat a king palm will take if you give it the right soil conditions. Mine love the addition of SUL PO MAG.
@@TropicalGardenGuy Do you just follow the application rates on the bag? Or have you come up with a program that seems to work well for (y)our conditions?
I always follow the directions
Jeff what’s Sul POL Mag ??
Do you think palm springs would be too hot and dry?
Hard to say, just plant in semi shade !
Hello Have you had any luck with foxtail palms or Bismarkia? I’m also in modesto and would like to know if they can take the central valley frost
My foxtail made it through its first winter , but died the second.
I just got a Bismarkia so we shall see how it deals with winter.
Thank you for the response, I was thinking of planting some foxtails..but I’ll try out a bismarkia instead…thank you again
And that musa with small pink fruits..? Is it a velutuna..? Very tall velutina..or ornata..?
velutina
@@TropicalGardenGuy thanks
Can a Archontophoenix cunninghamiana grow well in Palma de Mallorca?
Thank you.
I would say 100 percent yes, you would have to irrigate during the summer, Mallorca is a couple of degrees warmer than here
Thank you very much that's true in summer the temperatures here can reach 104º and i have to water it very often but what worries me the most is the night temperatures in winter since they can reach 41º and i don't see a lot of king palms over here.
41f won’t hurt a king palm, actually 32f is fine.
If you can’t find a live palm, get seed.
They grow fast from seed.
Good luck and happy growing !
Have them growing , New Zealand
excellent
They will be illegal in Auckland, in September 2022 :(
my leaves are burning or turning brown, what do i do? does that mean its dead?
If the spear in center pulls that usually means it’s dead
@@TropicalGardenGuy what do you mean by pulls?
would they eventually die from trunk splits?
Depends on how bad it is
I'm in Sacramento, where can you buy these?
I got mine at lowes
Can a small King palm survive the winter in Fresno ca?
Yes, I believe Fresno is slightly warmer than Modesto.
@paolina cha have you tried to plant king palm in Fresno? I went to nursery in Fresno and they told me it will not good to plant them under direct sunlight in Fresno.
Is it possible to plant fruit tree next to queen palm tree?
I have but queens will defeat most new plants
@@TropicalGardenGuy does that mean the fruit tree will die?
Does this take full sun?
Yes in my yard
@@TropicalGardenGuyI just started two small plants in full sun. Hopefully, they will grow tall and healthy like yours soon.
If it gets down to 26, its zone 9a not 9b, santa cruz mtns rarely get below 32, and is still classified as 9a
I used to live in Scotts Valley... Many areas couldnt grow oranges.Too cold.
USDA climate zones from planthardiness.ars.usda.gov .....z9a is 20f-25f and z9b is 25f-30f
I large container most stuff just in case, but really ANY palm tree or tropical fruit will tolerate a frigid NIGHT TIME ONLY, down to 30 or close to... EXCEPT coconut palms, pineapple plants, giant african baobab trees, and thailand giant..... sugar cane seems in between..
My pineapple plants seem to do ok here when planted in the right part of my yard!
Oh, cool, i was reading they dont even like it below 65-70 degrees, very good news... dont think baobab trees should ever be out in anything less than 55, big digita was expensive, and madagascar one was one of a kind to find
Hi what is the small palm trees under your king palm, thanks
Its been awhile, I had to go back and look again at the video. I think they were young king palms.
Thank you, love your tropical garden
their height would be stunted if planted under a larger tree or in other shady places.
Yes but I think in native habitat they often grow as an understory tree
ARCHONTOPHOENIX CUNNINGHAMIANA: Isn't this actually known as the "Bangalow palm"? I think the "King-palm" is actually ARCHONTOPHOENIX ALEXANDRAE
Yes you are right. But here in the US, We call this one the King Palm.
