Archonotophoenix maxima Seedlings

Featured Replies

I have 100+ seedlings of this rare Archonotophoenix species in 4" pots for sale. A. maxima is the largest of the so-called king palms, reaching up to 25m tall. Palmpedia gives conflicting info on its coldhardiness: one description indicates 28F but another article claims this species has survived frostless 24.4F with 60% leaf burn (which claim is correct I don't know). My mother palm overlooking our canal has no problems with SWFL winters. A. maxima is one of the rarest king palms in the US and difficult to find. See summary below:

Archonotophoenix maxima seedlings: $1.00 each

Shipping = $10.00 via Priority Mail. Seedlings will be shipped without pots and most soil with roots protected by damp orchid moss, clear wrap and foil.

Meg, for what it's worth I guy I know in Harlingen, Texas (humid borderline zone 9b/10a) has some very tall A. maximas that survived 25° F in 2010 and 27° F the following year.  I'm not sure how much damage they had, how tall they were at the time, or if he provided protection but he has some planted on the south side of his house and others planted on the north side under canopy and they look great (almost as nice as yours!)
