Queens are commonly 'bent' on purpose for lanscaping uses. They are planted in large boxes and then the boxes are dumped on their sides. Several years later the Queen has grown a right angle and is planted, hoping to duplicate the look a of the more tropical Coconut Palm

Here's some seed on the ground to show what size color it is (here in Los Angeles)- can be messy

by palmbob Jan 4, 2004 10:23 PM

And if you don't clean up the seed, notice the 'lawn' of Queen palms you start to get.

The smaller palm on the left survived our severe freeze this jan 07 (2 nights w/ 18 degree temp). the one on the right was planted in march 07

by jdiaz Oct 23, 2007 11:47 AM

Nov 07, zone 9b/10a central CA. There is a smaller one to the right, barely visible, whose growth was stunted by unusually cold temp this past Jan.

by jdiaz Oct 27, 2007 7:04 AM

Young Queen just starting to bulge at the trunk, meaning it will begin to skyrocket soon. very common throughout central and southern CA.

by jdiaz Nov 18, 2007 6:02 AM

Freeze damaged frond at 18 degrees for only an hour during our jan 07 freeze. This spear was inside the crown at the time and nonetheless got damaged pretty badly.

by jdiaz Nov 18, 2007 6:05 AM

It has taken this young queen 10 months to produce a healthy looking frond after a severe freeze in Jan 07 (low 20s for a week). It's companion queen died and was replaced later.

Common public landscape palm. This one is one of many at a gas station alongside hwy 99. Suprisingly healthy, as opposed to other public palms which are under-fertilized.

Adult few, that the baby might have come from, note the trimmed leafs, not my idea, neighbours asked to do it and over trimmed, not impressed at all :(

sometimes when grown in a clump, these will arch out a bit, like King Palms so often do
