Description
The Queen palm
or the Pindo
as we usually call it, really does strike a regal pose in the landscape.
Growing to maximum height of about 50
feet, this palm has a smooth straight gray
trunk ringed with evenly spaced leaf scars and topped with a large canopy
of feathery plumes.
During the summer season the Pindo decks herself out with impressive flower
structures. In early winter she takes on a sporty look when huge amounts
of fruit appear. Bright orange 1 inch oval "dates" hang in impressive
6' bunches creating a colorful show.
Location
Native to Brazil,
Paraguay and northern Argentina
in South America. This palm is now widely planted
as a landscape item.
Culture
Queen palm is tolerant
but prefers enriched sandy soils. We Fertilize this
specie twice a year in spring and summer with a fertilizer that contains
micronutrients, especially manganese.
Usage
The Queen palm is commonly used in natural groupings
and in frame views. This is an excellent palm for lining streets and boulevards.
It can succeed in urban environments
if maintained with adequate moisture. Queen palm
is easy to grow in pots outdoors.
