Those are some healthy queen palms, a lot of people don't think they'll grow in some areas of North Florida. I've seen a healthy on on Hilton Head Island, S.C. Nice video!
@@palmtreedude about 2 miles away from the coast. Where I live (charleston South Carolina) is very humid and rainy. Temps seldom go below 40 degrees Celsius year round. With that being said, its not unusual for us to experience tells as low as 20 maybe 5 days of the year
@@yo-saiffcaleb6213 Yeah I’m thinking it should do good there 99% of the time. I visited Charleston a few years ago and saw some massive Washingtonia robusta, which is always a good sign. The only time you’d probably need to do anything to it (like protect it) is if you got some sort of insane freeze, which of course isn’t common down there!
Queens are definitely heavy feeders at least here in Florida because of our soil. Transplanting into quality organics blended with 8-2-12 has always resulted in rapid healthy transition at least for me.
Yes, in south Brazil we call it ''Jerivá''. I've planted three on my sidewalk a few years ago but I'll have to remove it due to power lines above. They are gorgeous and the birds love their fruit!
Great video. I just found and bought one from a garden center in an area where palms can’t grow outside due to winter, not realizing that this is more of an outdoor tree instead of a houseplant. That being said, I now own it. Should have looked it up first obviously. I put it in well draining palm/cactus soil, in a pot with holes in it. I have it in a large sunny window (full sun most of the day). Should this be drenched when I water it, and how often indoors in a very sunny window? Thanks to anyone who might answer the question. Hope I don’t kill it, but I’m not too hopeful considering I bought something not great for indoors. There is very little information on TH-cam about growing this particular palm indoors so...😖😳. Any help is appreciated.
Nice video! I live in Las Vegas and I have a Canary Island Paml planted in my front yard. Been there for 30 years. I'm still debating on adding Queen Palms to my back yard. It's very dry and arid here in Vegas.
Queen Palms are native to Brazil, however they can tolerate the High Humidity and High Rainfall in Florida. I have seen Queen Palms grow successfully in Arizona, California and Nevada. Queen Palms are also quite drought tolerant. I would be more concerned about the Winter temperatures. Queens however can tolerate temperatures down to the low 20's. They will be fine if you want to plant them in your backyard! Thanks for your interest the video.
I live in Reno and I wish any palm would grow here. The only trunk palm I could plant with no protection in the winter is the windmill palm 😢. I often drive down to Sacramento where freezing does occur in the winter with lows down to the 20s and queen palms are everywhere there.
how many years would it take for a queen palm to mature? I just got one from costco and its 6-7 feet tall. My front yard is 10 feet wide and 30 feet long. How tall and wide will one plant be at maturity, cant decide how many plants should I put in that front yard.
I have two by my pool when we moved in and have been struggling to maintain them to a healthy palm. My giant sago in the front yard has many dry leaves as well. I'm in the desert area of California so high heat and low winter weather. Nurseries here have not been very helpful.
For transplanting the two palm pups, depending on the size. You will need to dig 4 to 6 inches out, around the pups trunk and at least 6 to 8 inches of depth for the roots. Of course, the palm pups may shock from being transplanted so you will need to remove most of the leaves all but 1 or 2! Water the pups as needed by keeping the soil evenly moist.
What would be a great palm for a backyard space that doesn't require lots of maintenance and isn't so expensive for central Florida? I'm from up North. There are so many Palm I see here in Florida not sure what to go with.
im in arizona. i planted three palms along a brick wall about a year ago. some branches are starting to turn brown. It seems to me if they touch the wall of anything aroundthem parts of the branch will have brown areas. Should i cut the whole branch off when that happens or let it be.Other than that they are growing nicely, probably close to three feet. Thank you
Juliana, may I suggest either trimming the section of fronds that are touching the wall, or trim off the entire frond! Temperatures are very high in Arizona even more so by being absorbed by the wall.
Hi David, I just picked up three 10’ queen palms each in a five gallon bucket’s, can you please tell me how much water do I need to water it every time I do it , I know it’s 4-5 times per week but how much , do I just fill the buckets to the top , I don’t wanna over do it or not give it enough. Thank you in advance. 🙏🏽✌🏽
Gapo60Angler were these rooted in the five gallon buckets or dug up? Plus, if the buckets don't have drain holes they will need them or else you'll suffer root rot. We recommend daily watering for the first month for transplants. Deep watering of palms is preferred.
@@EarthWorksJax It was bought in the bucket from Orchards store , when they bought it it was only 8’ tall now they’re over 12’ tall and the buckets have holes on the bottom, I will be transferring them in the ground in a couple of weeks, two of them have leaves that are yellowing. Does the yellow leaves mean they’re dying? TIA
@@gapo62angler93 Yellowing could be a sign of mineral deficiency such as a lack of magnesium in the soil. We recommend Chelated Palm Nutritional by Southern Ag brand.
I'm growing queen palms in north east GA Zone 8 no problem if it happens to get below 32f I rap them with Christmas lights and throw a sheet over the top of the young ones
Thanks for your videos. I'm from Ballarat Victoria, Australia where our winters average around a top of 10°c and nights/mornings down to -2 - -4°c. Our summers get up to 35°c - 40+. I have a dozen Queens in pots, but last summer didn't see much growth. Can you tell me what's the best fertilizer to use?
I’m of the understanding that the Queen comes in two varieties the standard and Silver Queen. The Silver is more cold tolerant and used to make the very cold tolerant mule palm. So do you see the Silver Queen?
I live in AZ and I have 3 queen palms that were looking bad. I thought they were underwatered so I upped the water and quickly found out it was the opposite. One turned completely brown and all the leaves look dead. I've heard that they can look like that for up to a year and still recover, is this true or is it time to pull this thing out? It's probably 20 foot high and unknown age. The other two are half brown but new growth quickly falls over.
Lets say for example you had these Palm trees in Barrels with a drainage hole, how often in the summer heat above 39C temperatures would you have to water, & if you have to water freqquently would there be a fear of root rot?
Recommendations for Queen Palm watering at or above 39C would be 4-5 times per week in the ground. Barrels would likely justify using a drip irrigation system that many times or more if your community allows it that much irrigation or hand water.
@@EarthWorksJax I am reading baout drip irrigation, but is it beneficial for the palm to use a drip irrigation method in barrels or it is sensible to simply flood the barrel with 1 gallon of water about two inches of water above the soil that will take approx 5min to soak intot he soil & then repeat that process 3-4 times in the space of like 2 hrs. allowing th epalm to obsorb the water and drain before adding more water & doing this every other day allowing the barrel to dry in the heat of 39C , or would you advise the drip irrigation, like wrapping a hose around the palm, puncturing it and allowing the to water the palm over a period of 1 hr, my biggest fear of this is that the water will not penetrate into the thick soil compacted into a barrel. Can flooding the barrel as i do at intervals just below the crown but 2 inches above the soil hurt the palm over time?
nice video. i have a 3 foot queen palm and it has this white stuff on the trunk. i dont think its powdery mildew. what is the white stuff on the green of your palms in this video? can i spray my tree with eagle 20 just in case?
I have a friend who planted a few of these in the Atlanta area 2 years ago. They have survived 3 years with the weather dropping to 15°F.. with no protection. I'm shocked they survive here.
That is spectacular information, 15 degrees F, is pushing the palms durability, beyond it's Minimum Temperature limits! It is important to keep the palms dry during those stretches of extreme low temperatures. Thank you for your comment!
I am thinking of planting a mule palm here in Toronto, Canada. so this is good information as this hybrid should be hardier than the pure queen. But I will be winter protecting from November till early April.
I was wondering did you guys ship from state to state El Paso Texas can you guys ship here or will I need to talk to your local nursery and pick out what I want
I have no idea why but I planted 3 5 gallon queen palms and they don't look to hot. One died I replaced. No idea why I can't keep these alive. Do they need to be flooded with water or light on water. Plant is yellowish not sure meaning of that. I have clay soil so if I was to dig a hole and fill with water it will hold it for hours
There is the most awesome palm at my place and I had never seen it before I moved here. I am pretty sure it’s called a foxtail palm? It looks like a fancier fluffier queen palm. It’s huuuge.
One of my favorite palms. They are somewhat hardy, too. We can grow them here in Lake Charles, LA, about 50-60 miles north of the Gulf of Mexico. Those you have for sale there appear to be somewhat mature trees with fat bases and long fronds. I'll bet they fetch some premium price$ for your nursery right? As well they should, as the buyer gets "instant gratification", not having to wait for a few years for theirs to get to that size. Excellent landscape trees for a tropical "feel".
A Queen Palm having a fiberous rooting system can grow in a container for many years. From seedling size (blade of grass appearance) to a 15 gallon (17 inches in diameter size pot) a Queen Palm can grow to approximately 8 feet in height. To continue growing the palm in the same size container, you could root prune the rootball every two years by removing 3 to 4 inches of the diameter and depth of the rootball. The root system will respond by growing new roots while the Plam continues to increase in size, without increasing the container (pot) size.
Great video, but I notice a white waxy looking substance of the trunk of this new shipment of Queen Palms. Is this scale? I have this all over the trunks of my young queen palms and it’s in the soil below the trees. Can you advise what to do if this is scale? Thank you! I have tried hosing off the white waxy substance and then spraying with Neem oil. Any suggestions ? Several fronds have died. Thank you!
To be able to grow Phoenix roebellini (Pygmy Date Palms) in Atlanta, Georgia a Microclimate would have to be established. Planting the palms next to a structure, such as a home, garage, fence and under a canopy of large Hardwood Trees, can help with creating a Microclimate. When the temperatures drop into the mid 20's F, you will have to protect the palms with frost cloth and/or lights which will generate heat around the growth point to insulate. Another option would be to grow the palms in a container, to be able to move it in for Cold Weather protection.

Is it normal for the trunk to be green after pulling off a old dead frond thing? Did I do it to early and will the green ever go away?
Green trunk underneath the removed frond does indeed suggest you could have left it on longer, but yest it will harden off with time.
