The premise was made on another thread that Queen Palms are more susceptible to wind damage than other varieties.* Here is an interesting article http://lee.ifas.ufl.edu/Hort/BrownsP...Hurricanes.pdf that compares the wind tolerance of a number of different types of Palms.* Potential damage to Queens increases when they are planted too deep, stunting the root structure.* And of course, proper staking for the first year is appropriate while the tree is firmly rooting itself.
