When looking for palms for my house, I looked at what the developer had planted. I saw no queen palms so I figured it was a bad idea -- then I had 5 of them planted at my house :-(
But I was at a top notch nursery the other day talking to a cracker jack nursery woman. Yes queen palms are short lived but they had some on their lot that had been planted 8 years ago and they looked fine. So three years must be a low estimate. Pray for warm winters and enjoy them. With any luck I'll be dead in 8 years and won't have to worry about dead palm removal.
