Peach Creek Palm

Peach Creek Palm (*Archontophoenix tuckeri*) is an accepted tree species in the palm family Arecaceae, native to northern Queensland. Kew places it in the wet tropical biome. ## 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; the species and local growing conditions can differ. The tropical native range is a useful guide when selecting a climate and planning regular moisture. ## Maintenance Choose a site with room for a tree-sized palm and its crown. Keep the root zone evenly moist during establishment while maintaining drainage. Check local cold exposure before planting outdoors year-round.
