Majestic and lush, the Queen Palm has long feathery fronds and a
smooth, light gray trunk. The queen palm really does strike a regal pose in the
landscape. Growing to maximum height of about 50 feet, this palm has a smooth
straight grey trunk ringed with evenly spaced leaf scars and topped with a
large canopy of feathery plumes. These lacy fronds are a dark glossy green and
have double rows of leaflets. These droop to the ground like double rows of
fringe to cast shady patterns on the lawn. Informal groupings of three or more
queens provides soft filtered sunlight perfect for shade gardens. During the
summer season the queen decks herself out with impressive inflorescences.
Bright orange 1 inch oval “dates” hang in impressive 6′ bunches
creating a colorful show. Queen palm is tolerant but prefers enriched sandy
soils. Fertilize twice a year in spring and summer with a fertilizer that
contains micronutrients, especially manganese. Native to Brazil, Paraguay and
northern Argentina in South America. The Queen palm has a fast growth rate and
it is easy to grow. It may get a manganese deficiency and so it should be
fertilized twice a year with a fertilizer that contains manganese and other
micronutrients. With a little care a small plant will make a dramatic specimen
within a few years.
Growing Instructions
1. Soak the seeds in warm water for one day.
2. Put a mix of half potting soil or peat moss and half sand or
perlite in pots that have drainage holes in the base.
3. Water the pots so that they are saturated and then let the water
drain out of the pots.
4. Sow the seeds on the growing medium and cover them with 5-10 mm of
the medium.
5. Water the seeds regularly so that the soil is not dry but do not
overwater them.
6. Put the pots in an area in full sun or partial shade. The seeds
usually take 1-4 months to germinate.
7. When the seedlings have a few leaves, they can be planted in an
area in full sun and sandy soil.
