Queen Palm
Syagrus Romanzoffiana
Overview
The Queen Palm (Syagrus romanzoffiana) is an elegant, tropical landscape staple, reaching heights of up to 50 feet. Its smooth, gray trunk supports a crown of glossy, arching fronds, each ranging from 10-15 feet in length. This fast-growing palm thrives in USDA zones 9b through 11, requiring full sun and well-drained soil. Drought-tolerant once established, it also bears clusters of ornamental orange fruits in warmer climates.
