Queen Palm Tree [Syagrus romanzoffiana]

The Queen palm tree originated in Argentina and is used to quickly landscape treeless gardens. The Queen palm can grow 50 feet tall and will survive cold temperatures of 20 degrees F. The huge double rows of feather-like leaves top the Queen palm's smooth trunk of gray. Queen palm trees flower in mid-summer, and the dates turn orange in winter, hanging in 6 foot ornamental clusters from the the top of the Queen palm tree. The Queen palm tree is often containerized for decorating outdoor cafes and office entrances in Northern States. The Queen palm tree grows best in acid soils and full sun. As a fast growing palm tree, the Queen palm can grow 6 feet per year when favorably established.

The Queen Palm Trees originated in South America and grow well in the United States in zones 9 and 10, but show cold damage or death when temperatures drop below the mid-twenties, F. The Queen Palm Tree can grow 50 feet tall, and is generously used in lining streets and boulevards in acceptable climate zones. The green delicate leaves of the Queen Palm Tree arch majestically on a fast growing, gray trunk. The Queen Palm Trees grow rapidly in landscapes or in containers. Hybrids with the Pindo Palm, Butia capitata and Queen Palm, Sygagrus romanzoffiana have produced a Mule palm tree with the cold hardiness of the Pindo Palm Tree. The Queen Palm Tree is usually grown commercially by nursery propagators, forming rapidly growing plants for tropical gardens.
