Queen Palm (Syagrus
romanzoffiana) or (Cocos plumosa)
Brazil & Argentina
Queen palms are the most common ‘tropical’ palms seen throughout the
Phoenix area. With correct watering
and feeding, they will transplant easily and grow quickly, providing fast shade
and screening.
Queen palms do not develop any fungus problems, however, lack of
manganese may cause 'frizzle top' which can result in new growth being stunted
and blackened. Avoid this by using
granular food or palm tree spikes 3 to 4 times per year, and by keeping the soil
Ph low.
Recommended watering is 2 to 3 times a week in summer, especially newly
transplanted palms, and 2 times a week during winter weather.
Great palm for fast growth for shade and quick screening.
Excellent as a tall tropical accent for poolside or entryways.
Growth is moderate to fast, will reach about 25 feet in 15 to 20 years.
