Editing Roystonea oleracea (section)

===Culture:===
Prefers a sunny, moist position, and doesn't mind damp toes when mature but will drown and die if planted straight into waterlogged conditions. Younger specimens and seedlings are happy in light dappled shade but can tolerate full sun if humidity and irrigation is sufficiently high.
A very fast robust grower in the tropics and warm wet subtropics for deep rich soil. Succeeds more spectacularly if planted near water or boggy soil, dripping tap, sewage system or other constant water supply, high rainfall or irrigation spill.
Unlike the more commonly grown ''R. regia'' they are also not as susceptible to lack of trace elements as juveniles but retain a good dark even green in suitably warm humid climates. Not cold hardy much bellow around 10 - 15&#160;%C a few weeks at a time, but can take a few days into the single digits, preferably without wind, without any noticeable damage.
