The tallest royal palms i ever saw was on the island of barbados in a place called coco hill forest where they have grown huge bigger than i have seen anywhere else. Maybe over 100 feet tall the ones i saw.

They're really cool when they get that tall, right?

Hey Richard! Beautiful palm, actually my favorite palm. I have a couple of questions for you. I live in Palma de Mallorca (Spain) in the Mediterranean, and I planted a Royal Palm right beside my house, maybe a 10 ft palm. I wonder if I would have any problem with my Royal in the future with the fronds dropping, if I keep it trimmed it would be fine? By the way I planted the palm surrounded by concrete. Will a Royal Palm frond break the concrete? I made a big hole maybe 3-4 ft x 3-4 ft the and 2.5 ft in depth, filled it with good soil, and planted the palm, the soil where I made the hole is really bad, clay with rock, basically subsoil. The drainage is horrible. will the palm have problems with that type of soil? thank you very much.

[@RichardSites]

Lots of questions. The fronds are very heavy and could damage anything under them. It's a shame you planted so close to the house since the palm would normally drop the fronds and you would not have to trim. However, I don't think they will break the concrete and won't be a problem for another 5-10 years. Enjoy your palm and thanks for watching. Check out the video called My Tropical Yard on the channel.

A previous owner of my house planted some royals 20-30' feet from house. During one of our summer storms the winds snapped off a frond that made a hole in my roof. I would definitely not leave a royal that close to the house. The royals around my house are no longer there.

I try to find and collect royal palm tree seeds and seedlings.. i have this one royal palm in my neighborhood and its the only one thats producing seeds in my neighborhood. I couldn’t find and seedlings or seeds, and i have a seed, dont know if its a royal palm one or a different palm tree seed

[@RichardSites]

Royal seeds are very small and perfectly round & smooth and very dark. Geez, you could fill buckets with seeds around here. Check out my other tour called My Tropical Yard.

[@kristyandava]

@@RichardSites Thanks! Because one i have is almond shaped and big..i dont know if thats still a seed so im going to keep it. But now i know what royal palm seeds look like

[@harmanbaidwan1713]

Hey, really loved the video! Do you have any idea how much it would cost to buy a 10 foot tall palm tree like that? And where could I buy some? Thanks very much

[@RichardSites]

No idea on the price, I would try a nursery in Homestead where they grow thousands of them. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@harmanbaidwan1713]

@@RichardSites I just got a price from a local nursery in India, and they are selling 4 palm trees for 800 dollars including the installation can you believe that 😂

[@drazen33333]

[@PureSwank]

Most Beautiful Palms in MY opinion. 1. Mature Foxtails Palms 2. Mature King Palms 3. Mature Bottle Palms 4. Mature Spindal Palms Especially in twins and triples

[@RichardSites]

Those are good choices. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@tokunboadujaswal6407]

Hey thanks for the video but how tall does it grow every year please?

[@RichardSites]

If you go on my channel and find the tour of my tropical yard you can see a royal palm that is about 10 years old that should give you some idea

[@rdemm05]

If you can find one could you do a video on Doum Palms? (Hyphaene Thebacia)

[@RichardSites]
