In the palm world, Alexander the Great is Alexander the Palm.
Grows in rainforests, often near to creeks, or in conspicuously colonies in freshwater swamp forests, the Alexander palm must rank among one of Queensland’s most famous palms.
It has conquered the hearts of many a tropical horticulturist, attaining global acclaim as a ornamental palm grown in many tropical countries.
Such is the charisma of Alexander the Palm.
Deservedly so.
It IS a handsome palm.
Not exceedingly robust in girth, but sturdy and of a elegant in form, with neat fronds with fine leaflets with a silvery undersurface.
It’s got attractive red berries, which is pleasing to the eyes, and makes for a good feed for birds.
Princely as palms are famed to be.
Alexander the Palm.
