I am sorry I ignore which Archontophoenix species it is, since it was roadside seeds or seedlings collecting.
But I love the colors:

is this common on Archontophoenix alexandrae?

What a roadside to die for!

I've found "Archie" tuckeri, maxima and alexandrae all make orange new leaves sometimes, especially in the short-daylight season, which we're just starting here. Some are quite orange before fading to green.

(Guess you wouldn't be interested in free Archie seed! :) )

Thank you Dave, you're right; we still have many Archontophoenix roadsidensis I don't know where to plant. 

I presume these palms are the witnessing of the past, when bangalow palms were planted nearby the british planters houses, in the hill country.

    Phillipe, the one I found that didn't make orange leaves is the common (for us) "King Palm", A. cunninghamiana.

    Are the leaves pictured silver on the reverses? If so, they're not Kings.

    And, keep the pictures coming! :yay:

    Your plants look like either tuckeri or alexandrae. Tuckeri have green crownshafts, while alexes are more brown. Maxima have really short petioles.

    At least here in California. (Wonder if they look different in Sri Lanka?)

    It must be A. alexandrae since we don't have big choice and nurseries like you do in US.
    I believe british planters knew only A alexandrae, we also must forget all species which have been named or discovered after 1950; these species had no hope to come to Sri Lanka.

    Here's the recent new leaf on my A. myolensis. I assume it's a freak genetic thing!

    Philippe, are some pictures of an A. Alexandrae Var. Beatrice flushing a red leaves. these are 4 separate plants from the same seed batch. I took these pictures about 5 months ago.

    A. maxima sometimes does this as well. Unfortunately they usually grow out of this phase and push green leaves when they mature

    My Archontophoenix cunninghamiana sometimes have orange new leaves. It seems that all Archontophoenix species can have orange new leaves.

    Saw this today from my Arch. Alexandrae. Middle of summertime in SoCal. It’s been mid to high 70’s for weeks if that time of year and ambient temperatures mean anything to this oddity.
