Roystonea regia ( Cuba royal palm)

These tall palms are grown in most new Parks of Kuching. Along the highway near my house, there are many of such palms standing majestically in a row. The trees can grow to 30m high with straight trunks thicken in the middle.The 6m fronds comprise of numerous narrow,deep green leaflets. Another unique feature is a vertical pole-like structure on the tree top is first formed before turning into the leaves.
