[Arid_gardener] Queen palm care

[Linda Drew]

from an earlier message:

Queen palms are not well adapted to our low desert environment, hence it is
important that they are watered adequately and fertilized three to four 
times
a year with a special palm fertilizer. The bulletin Arizona Landscape Palms
is available on line at:
http://ag.arizona.edu/pubs/garden/az1021.pdf  (see page 8)

Also check out this site for info on irrigation:

Good luck.
