THis is not an easy question for you can get a queen palm to cost anywhere from $100 to more than $800 installed. A good size good quality queen is going to cost you at least $400 installed with guarantee. It all depends upon their size meaning not only height but also girth plus the size of your job will impact the price.(ie one tree $400...3 trees maybe $1000) The younger trees are more suspectible to the elements especially meaning the cold snaps we do get here in the winter. 2 and 3 winters past we had some really bad stretches of cold freezing weather that took a heavy toll on all tropical trees and shrubs......the older more established trees were most likely to survive but even they got hit pretty bad and some eventually died. Two-three degrees variance is common between north of 466 and south of 466A and if you are talking an outside temp of 30-32 degrees that is a major difference. So I would hope things will be better the further south you are. The same holds true for all other varieties of Tropical palms and for the most part they are more expensive to begin with than the queens...price is dependent upon its size and quality.
