Queen Palm

queen_palmThe Queen Palm (Syagrus Romanzoffiana) is a full sun palm and requires soils with a higher acidic value and good drainage.  Pruning should be done periodically but should be kept at a minimum to ensure full sun photosynthesis to prevent growth decline.  Typical height is from 25-50 ft.

The Queen Palm is susceptible to scale, palm leaf skeletonizer and butt rot, but  is somewhat resistant to most forms of yellowing disease.
