Myola King Palm

Myola King Palm (*Archontophoenix myolensis*) is an accepted tree species in the palm family Arecaceae, native to northeastern Queensland’s Atherton Tableland. Kew places it in the wet tropical biome and reports the IUCN category as Vulnerable; its 2024 extinction-risk prediction on the same page differs, so conservation assessments should be read with their stated scope. ## Form and growing conditions The Royal Horticultural Society describes *Archontophoenix* palms generally as evergreen, single-stemmed plants with large pinnate leaves. Its profile for a related species recommends sheltered partial shade and fertile, moist but well-drained soil. These are genus-level starting points, not species-specific trial results. A warm, humid site with dependable moisture is consistent with the wet tropical origin reported by Kew. ## Maintenance Provide room for a tree-sized palm and avoid drying the root zone during establishment. Maintain drainage and check local cold exposure before planting outdoors year-round.
