A queen palm tree (Syagrus romanzoffiana) is a fast-growing palm tree that can reach up to 50 feet (15 meters) in height. The queen palm is native to South America, but it has been introduced to other parts of the world, such as the United States, where it is often grown as an ornamental tree. The queen palm is characterized by its long, slender trunk and its showy crown of bright green leaves. The tree produces small, white flowers that are borne in clusters at the tips of the leaves. The flowers are followed by small, yellowish-orange fruits.<\/p>\n

A queen palm tree can grow up to 24 inches per year.<\/p>\n

How can I make my queen palm tree grow faster? <\/h2>\n

Palm trees grow best in warm weather, although they will tolerate some cold. Place the trees in a location where they will receive full sun for at least six hours per day. Water the trees deeply and regularly, especially during the summer months. Fertilize the trees every six weeks with a palm tree fertilizer.<\/p>\n

Queen palms are considered to be moderately tolerant of salt spray. They can reach heights up to 50 ft with a spread of 20–25 ft. The smooth gray trunk varies from 8–15 inches in diameter, depending on the seed source and environment, and may contain bulges.<\/p>\n
