We have a Queen palm and a double Sylvester. Our palms do well and are healthy.
We had the trunks of our double Sylvester diamond cut by Terrascape when they planted it.
After planting, we were told to water our palms every day for a month, until the trees got established.
The Queen grows fast, the Sylvesters grow slowly. That's all I know.
