Archontophoenix alexandrae

NATURAL HABITAT- The Alexander palm naturally grows in the northern costal forests of Australia.



CHARACTERISTICSThe Alexander is a tall slender palm very similar to its close cousin the Piccabean palm.  The palm can be grown both in small clusters and as singles.  The trunk is a grayish color with very noticeable leaf scares.  The crown shaft is a variable green to greenish yellow color.  The leaves all grow on a single plain and tend to stay vertical without dropping past the beginning of the crown shaft.



TEMPERATURE ZONES zone 10-11



ENVIRONMENT REQUIREMENTS The Alexander Palm likes a lot of water and can handle either full sun or full shade.  We recommend growing them in a mix of sun and shade where they will get plenty of water.



GROWING TIPS- These palms are very hardy and are easy to grow.  The Alexander is great for a new hobbyist or someone looking for a nice tree for their yard.  They are also fast growing and like a lot of fertilizer.
