You know that's funny ..
I hear some say they grow fast some say they don't grow that fast until they form a trunk hmmm.... i'm still learning about this one lol. :~ )

If y'all want Queens, mine drop fruit and germinate all over my landscape. I try to keep em pruned, but with 12 on the property, some reaching 35' tall, I have to wait for the tree guys once per year or so. I'll pot some up and ship em for free except cost of shipping, unless there is a trade. Just a thought...what'ya think? It takes about a month to fill a small pot and flush a leaf or two. Mine in front are 35' tall and I grew them from seed in 1993. The side Queens are nearly as tall and were planted from 7gal in 2001. They are carefree except good feeding to keep them lush. Mine are very lush! Greg btw I've got to take a pic of my mature Triangle at fmy front driveway. Its got 8' of clear trunk and is about 30' tall- beautiful!!!! Now, PLEASE PLEASE I'M BEGGING send some rain. Dry for over a week, once in 4 weeks!

Nice Queen topher. Are you going to put it in the ground soon? I have 3 queens. 2 are over 7 ft and another is 6ft. They haven't been growing that fast for me but since it got humid in the 90's and low 70's they have started to push out new spears faster. Plus we're finally getting some rain down here. At their current rate I don't see them adding more than a foot to their overall height by the end of the year. Good luck with yours!

NO i'm going to keep it in the pot i have some experimentals to try this winter so i want to see what happens with them .

These palms are fast fast fast!

I planted this one from a large 3 gallon/small 7 gallon about 3.5 years ago. For size reference, the Sabal on the right of the photo has about 15 ft of trunk.

As further reference to Greg's post about growth rate of these palms, here is the same palm pictured above in June 2005, August 2006, and January 2007. The increase in trunk girth this past year has been outstanding.

Hey gregsytch,

I would be interested in getting some of your queen sprouts. Let me know how you would ship them and the cost.

Thanks,
John

P.S. If you are interested in a Mexican Tall coconut, I could send one to you. They wash up on our beaches here in Texas in the Spring and Summer, and sometimes us growers actually get lucky and get them before the tourists pick them up and before other locals chop them open to drink the milk.

Wow spock
Now that's what i'm talking about ..
Those are super nice !!
