#queenpalm

DO NOT! plant a Cocos Palm (Syagrus romanzoffiana) also known as the queen palm. It’s native to Brazil and has been introduced throughout the world as a popular ornamental garden tree. It is an environmental weed in Queensland and New South Wales because it sets carpets of seedlings that outcompete native species. They can also injure or kill flying foxes in a variety of ways (which I didn’t know until I started researching) ranging from constipation to seeds getting stuck in young foxes mouths. These 3 trees are in the process of being removed. They were here when we arrived and have been a pest for the last 28 years. #CocosPalm #QueenPalm #SyagrusRomanzoffian #Brazil #foliage #abcmygarden #pest #EnvironmentalWeed (at Belmont, New South Wales, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cprg0QWPvGQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Back in Indiana, just put the queen palm back into the ground with my dog Jake in the foreground. The queen palm was bought a couple of years ago locally and spend the winter in the foyer of my home where there are very tall ceilings. The nursery where I bought it in Carmel has a couple of them this year so it might get a brother. #palmtrees #indianapalmtrees #queenpalm #syagrusromanzoffiana #tropical #carmelindiana #beagle (at Carmel, Indiana)

Beautiful things in Florida! 😩

I don't care what anyone says, I think a 9-foot tall queen palm looks completely natural in my family room... at least during the winter while I'm in Florida. :-) #queenpalm #syagrusromanzoffiana #indoorpalm #indoorpalmtrees #palmtrees #palmeras #palmeiras #palmier (at Carmel, Indiana)

Another view of this interesting palm-filled yard in Columbus, Ohio. In this pic there are two Mediterranean fan palms, a queen palm, bird of paradise, a king palm (trunk is visible in background). #mediterraneanfanpalm #europeanfanpalm #chamaeropshumilis #queenpalm #syagrusromanzoffiana #bananaplant #kingpalm #archontophoenixalexandrae #columbusohio #germanvillage #palmtree #palmtrees #coldhardypalms #tropicallandscape #palmeras #palmier #palmeiras (at Columbus, Ohio)

Here's an awesome house I came upon by accident while in Columbus, Ohio this evening. It has a dozen kinds of palm trees in the front yard that I will be individually showing for the next couple of days. #tropical #tropicallandscape #palmtrees #palmtrees #columbusohio #germanvillage #germanvillagecolumbus #queenpalm #bananaplant #syagrusromanzoffiana #palmera #palmier #palmeiras (at German Village)
