Cocos Plumosa 70lt
Common Name: Cocos Palm, Queen Palm

Cocos plumosa, commonly known as Queen Palm or Cocos Palm, is a tropical palm tree native to South America but widely cultivated in various parts of the world for its graceful appearance and suitability for landscaping.

Appearance
Queen Palms are tall, slender trees that can grow to heights of around 12 to 18m.
They have a smooth, grey trunk that is slightly bulging at the base.
The leaves are pinnate (feather-like) and arched, creating an elegant and tropical appearance.
The leaflets are green and give the crown of the tree a feathery look.

Cultivation
Cocos plumosa is well-suited for tropical and subtropical climates.
They thrive in full sun and well-draining soil.
Regular watering is important, especially during establishment, but they can tolerate short periods of drought once established.
These palms are often used for landscaping in parks, streets, and gardens.

Uses
Queen Palms are commonly used in landscaping due to their attractive appearance and relatively fast growth.
They can be planted as ornamental trees along streets, in parks, and as focal points in gardens.
The feathery appearance of their foliage adds a touch of elegance to the landscape.

Maintenance
Regular pruning of dead leaves, known as fronds, is necessary to maintain the tree’s neat appearance and safety.
Fertilisation can help promote healthy growth and vibrant foliage.
