Impressive palms in Phoenix Arizona

Recommended Posts

If anyone is ever in the Phoenix area I highly recommend checking out the royal palms resort in the north Phoenix/scottsdale area. They have 2 impressive royal palms, Christmas palms, king palms, and several other zone 10a+ palms. They also have a few 40+ foot tall ficus rubber trees, 2 15-20 foot tall plumerias and a really old banyan fig. I will find some of the pics I took and add it to the forum for you guys.

Phoenix is a very interesting climate because the valley for the most part is 9b however we have lower elevation pockets of 10a. I am growing several tropicals in my yard here in the valley. I am growing a multi trunk bangalow palm, a royal poinciana, jacaranda, plumeria, hawaiian ti plants, multiple vareties of elephant ears, multiple varieties of philodendrons, plantains, and many more. Once things warm up a bit outside I will plant my African tulip and my sea grapes. 

I am planning this spring to add a Beccariophoenix Alfredii and some kentia palms. I am currently germinating foxtail palms and cuban royal palms that should be ready to go in the ground by spring. I am not hopeful of ever attempting a cocos nucifera however i do know of 1 person in the valley successfully growing one for the past few years. Check out shamus oleary tropicals. This guy is growing some amazing palms on his property and last time i saw his dwarf coconut it looked very healthy.  This is an unseasonably cold winter so far and I've had to frost protect my poinciana and my sugarcanes but I'm hopeful that a high pressure system will hit the valley soon. Just thought I'd share some information with you guys about what I've seen growing around the valley 😊

There is also a local Arizona thread here where you can see what others in the area have had success with. African tulip and seagrapes may last a couple years,but once in the ground,expect those two to die in one of our surprise cold snaps.Kentias are strictly indoor palms in Phoenix.Summer sun and 100F plus temps are a certain death sentence for that species.:greenthumb: Welcome to the forum.
