Princess Palm (Large) (Dictyosperma album)
Princess Palm (Large) (Dictyosperma album)
The Princess Palm (Large), scientifically Dictyosperma album, is a tall, slender feather palm known for its smooth trunk, narrow crownshaft, and gracefully arching fronds. In this large form, the palm’s canopy becomes wide and refined, with leaflets arranged in a soft, feathery pattern along long, sweeping midribs.
Dictyosperma album originates from the Mascarene Islands, where it evolved in coastal forests exposed to wind, giving it a naturally flexible, upright form. Mature individuals display an elegant, tapering trunk that narrows slightly toward the crownshaft, enhancing the palm’s regal posture. The large version embodies the species’ full aesthetic—a mix of vertical lightness and delicate foliage structure—making it a favorite for formal tropical landscapes and grand plantings where height and grace are essential.
The Princess Palm (Large) has a cultivated height between 35’-50’ (10.67-15.24 m), spread diameter of 10’-15’ (3.05-4.6 m), and leaf lengths between 7’-10’ (2.13-3.05 m). In the wild, the Princess Palm (Large) has an overall height between 40’-65’ (12.2-19.81 m).
