The Queen or Cocos Palm is the hero for any Aussie who dreams of a tropical escape, as no matter where you are down under, you can create a tropical hideaway with these amazingly tolerant palm trees. They will tolerate frost and grow as far South as Hobart. Queen Palms also attract birds to the garden. | Cedrus atlantica glauca pendula
A fast-growing, irregular weeping selection of Atlas cedar with dense, cloaked branches holding clusters of powdery steel-blue needles. Its form is extremely controllable with training; often seen treated as espalier, ground cover, or most-often as a magnificent solitary specimen. This is definitely not a dwarf conifer. Terminals can extend up to 60 cm on a yearly basis and, over time, will become a massive tree. It is extremely tolerant of poor conditions and for best performance, must be positioned in full sun.
