Bring a bold tropical statement to your landscape with the Beccariophoenix alfredii, a stunning, hardy Madagascan palm that thrives in Australian conditions. Often referred to as the High Plateau Coconut Palm, this rare species resembles a coconut palm but is far more cold-tolerant and adaptable, making it a popular choice for gardeners in subtropical and temperate climates.
Renowned for its graceful fronds and smooth grey trunk, the Beccariophoenix alfredii can grow to 6-12 metres tall, creating a spectacular focal point in any garden. With its origins in the high plateaus of Madagascar, this palm is suited to free-draining soils and requires full sun or partial shade to flourish. Its drought tolerance makes it ideal for coastal gardens, tropical-themed landscapes, or statement plantings in residential and commercial properties across Queensland and New South Wales.
If you’re looking for a rare, exotic palm with the ability to withstand cooler temperatures, the Beccariophoenix alfredii is a perfect choice for Australian gardens.
