Well, big for me anyway. I bought a queen palm which is now 13 feet tall. It was cheap ($35) so I figured if I lose it I am only out $35.

I am planning to pull the leaves together and wrap it in strands of warm christmas lights and then wrap that with plastic, and put a thick pile of mulch at the base. Do you think this will be successful?

It rarely goes below 20 F here even on the worst nights in the winter. I've read that queen palms can tolerate short hits of 26-28 so I hope this bit of protection will be sufficient.

Thanks!
