Archontophoenix alexandrae
' Alexandra Palm '
[ Palmae ]
[ Australia ]
A very popular palm from Australia with grass green, feather shaped leaves with silver undersides and slender crown shafts. The small bright red fruits are produced in large quantities. The King- or Alexander palm will grow in a wide range of climates from tropical to cool temperate, and does excellently as an indoor palm given bright light. The seeds germinate easily and uniformly and subsequent growth is very fast.
