The queen palm tree Oakley is a bit variable in looks and size depending on where it’s grown. It originates from countries in South America like southern Brazil and Argentina.
Its newer leaves on top are quite often a medium to dark green shade with the older lower leaves being almost a dusty silver/green color. The trunk is usually light grey in color.
It gets beautiful long yellow sprays, (up to 5 ft long) of both male and female white flowers.

Some say the fruit is edible, although I haven't tried it myself.
The queen palm tree prefers an acid to neutral pH in the soil. It is only slightly drought and salt tolerant.
It is a medium to fast grower that will reward you with an even faster growth rate if fed and watered regularly. If any drought conditions are starting to set up don’t wait to water this tropical beauty, it’s not worth the risk in slowing it down.
They can get an impressive 90 ft tall in it native habitat but will more than likely reach 60ft in landscapes by about 15 feet wide.
