Graceful Cocos Palm Highlights for Southern California Streets
The Cocos or Queen Palm is listed by the Los Angeles Times as a premier palm for parkways. Varieties include flexuosa and Roman offlana, with the flexuosa tyee noted for hardiness. Roya palm is not hardy enough for southern California. The Brazilian native usually reaches 25 to 30 feet, occasionally 40 to 50, with a smooth trunk and shed fronds. It tolerates narrow parkways but prefers wider spaces and good draining soil.
