Hello, I am very new to this site & I'm still trying to figure out how to even use it. I just bought a couple of queen palms in a 20 gallon container. so they seem to be about 12-15 feet tall. (total) It had confusing planting instructions. I dug a hole about 1 1/2 times the pot size in depth and about about 12 inches round bigger than the pot. I mixed my ground dirt (which is like red clay dirt) with a top soil mixer which i had left over from laying sod on the ground. I mixed the two together & planted it just level with the dirt that it already had. I sure hope I did this right. I used some miracle grow in the water afterwards. Is miricle grow ok to use with palms ? how many feet per yesr does this tree grow ? i think i live in zone 9 or 10

I don't know much about palms, I live to far North in the cold and snow for such plants. Sounds like you planted it well.

Just be careful not to over fertilize your plants though.

Someone should be around soon to give you some info on your plant itself.
