This interesting hybrid originated in Thailand by a grower and propagator of rare palms. It is a cross between the common Queen Palm and an unusual type of palm from the same genus, Syagrus schizophylla. The offspring have proven to be quite beautiful and have good cold tolerance. These will be a medium sized palm. The trunk will be thinner than the normal Queen and the overall size will be less. The attached photos of near mature plants show how pretty it is. And, that they are not overly tall. Note that they do not resemble what we all know as the Queen Palm. Some say they seem more to resemble a Coconut Palm. This hybrid likes full sun, is a medium rate grower and has a cold hardiness estimated to be in the low 20’s F. Mature height should be about 25 feet. For those who want the fluffy appearance of the Queen Palm without the large size, this palm is perfect for you. Be aware, these are extremely difficult to find and are presently in super short supply.
We’re putting huge 24 inch boxes on sale. They are about 10 – 12 feet tall in their box. This hybrid likes full sun, is a medium rate grower. We have what may be the last three plants in this area.
