I lived in Temecula for 12 years and had three in my backyard. Really enhanced my patio area. Had a Mexican Palm in the front yard as the centerpiece. Love 'em. Sago's as well. Cannot go wrong with a palm.

You didn't mention that the fruits when fresh can be eaten and are quite nice. Sorta bit like a slightly fibrous Plum. A textbook I have says that after eating the soft flesh, one can then crack the nut open and also eat the coconut-like interior. Many years ago I collected up a bunch of ripe fruits freshly fallen onto the front lawn of a government building (in Australia) and took them home to feed the chickens. They absolutely loved them.

Lots of Queens in my Hood, Vero Beach. I have grown dozens. Planted 5 in my yard. The love coffee grounds and thrive on Folgers! I give mine some fertilizer, but not a lot. I have a community irrigation system so when it works they get a drink. I like their flowing fronds.

I have had the worst luck with our young Queen Palms that were planted in Dec. we protected them from NE FL frost but they aren’t thriving even w water and food and fertilizer. In March I began watering more & feeding liquid Palm Food every 2 weeks by spraying entire palm and ground. The fronds had turned yellow, then brown. I fertilize every 6 weeks. May I send you pics of my sick Palms? I have asked local nurseries but no one has helped. Thank you.

Do you think they grow in Vegas? Also, the fruit is edible. When mine fruited, my landscaper told me that you can eat the fruit. They are delicious.

To have the best chance of surviving in Vegas, I think you'd have to ensure smaller plants are firstly grown on to a larger size before planting out in the ground, and even then provide "some" measure of protection on occasion, when an extended period of below freezing temperatures is about to occur. (So if 32*F or 0*Celsius was to occur, for more than a short period). In general Palms can tolerate a greater level of freezing, the drier the air is. Good luck.

@@KiwiCatherineJemmayou can just buy a larger one from California plant in winter, then protect it well the 2 first winters. I have found that there is very little difference in the hardiness on the basis of where it was grown. So a acclimated queen from south Florida should do just as well in Vegas given some time.

They proliferate like crazy here in the temperate to warmer parts of Australia and are defined as a pest plant. If you leave them to themselves in the wild they will spread over a few years from the fruit that they produce in great quantities. The rats in Sydney love them. I am about to remove three of them from my property. For large gardens only in my view. Oh, and they drop loads of debris as they discard dead fronds.

Queen palms are most certainly not “high maintenance,” even when full sized. The only maintenance you need to do is remove any dead fronds once a year and, while you’re at it, remove the flower bracts so the seeds don’t drop everywhere. If that’s too high maintenance for you, you probably shouldn’t include palm trees of any sort in your landscape.
