The Royal Palm, also known as Roystonea regia, is a majestic tree that can be found in various parts of Central America, including Belize and Cuba. In the beautiful Belize District, specifically on Little Frenchman Caye, you can witness the stunning sight of weatherboard wooden houses surrounded by these towering palms. One historical image from 1910 depicts locals climbing the Royal Palm trees in an impressive display of skill and bravery. Another snapshot from 1914 showcases a portion of the Avenue of Royal Palms at Botanical Gardens, showcasing their grandeur and elegance. Not limited to Belize alone, Cuba boasts its own Avenue of royal palms captured in a photograph dating back to around 1920. Meanwhile, Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden in Brazil features the Fountain of Muses amidst lush greenery and tall royal palm trees during the late 19th or early 20th century. Back in Belize's Little Frenchman Caye district lies a charming scene with palm-thatched roofs blending harmoniously with nature's gift -the royal palm trees. These iconic trees are not only found in Central America but also have variations like Cuban royal palm or Florida royal palm. In Miami, Florida's history intersects with this magnificent tree species as well. The black-and-white photo taken around 1900 showcases Hotel Royal Palm standing proudly amidst a landscape adorned with these graceful palms. A colored photochrome from c1901 further highlights ROYAL PALM HOTEL's splendor during that era. Traveling to Havana, Cuba takes us down an avenue lined with regal royal palms captured beautifully in stereograph form back in 1901. Finally, Martinique offers visitors a glimpse into its French Antilles paradise through St. Pierre's visitor center/gift shop framed by rows upon rows of towering royal palms. Whether it is exploring botanical gardens or immersing oneself within tropical landscapes across Central America and beyond – one thing remains constant – the allure and magnificence of the royal palm.
