The King Palm or Archonto-Phoenix Palmae is native to the Australian Rain Forests and are called Bungalow Palms or Picabeen Palms in that country. They can grow up to 50 feet tall with a 10 to 15 foot branch spread. Mature King Palms are difficult to transplant successfully and should be planted away from structures to keep from damaging exterior walls, chimneys or roof lines. The King Palms are a great place for rats to nest. These varmints can gain access to attics via roof vents by climbing up the trunks and following the long branches out to the roof ridges.

Hire a licensed tree trimmer if a King Palm is located in close proximity to your home or cannot be trimmed with a Fiskars tree trimmer while standing safely on the ground
