Years back, I transplanted LOT of Queen palms... most with no root ball, just a few chopped up roots and I never lost a single one. They transplant very easily! As long as you planted it at about the same height that it was originally growing... you should be ok. They are tough palms!

2 Christmas's ago, I dug up a queen that had started growing near my in-law's lanai in Cape Coral Fl. This thing had already been abused by a friend of theirs trying to remove it...and I took no prisoners when digging and pulling it out. I thought it was toast, but transplanted it near their dock, and prayed. I haven't been back since, but my mother-in-law says the "tree" is doing great. Agree with Jay...these suckers are tough.
