Posted by Tom, St. Marys, GA on August 16, 2007, 9:51 pm, in reply to "The Elusive Silver Queen" I have a specimen in my yard from the same seed source (also from Dave Witt) that I bought as a small plant from him at the summer 2005 meeting in Orlando. It's now about 8' tall overall and does have that very silvery, scurfy material on the petioles and petiole bases. I'll try to post a photo of that palm this weekend.

Alex, I have about five or six small "Silver Queen" Syagrus that I grew from seed I got from Dave Witt in Orlando. They are progeny from his palm, a second-generation Queen from the ones at Disney World that survived 17F unscathed in 1989. Pretty impressive for a Queen palm. At any rate, they will be available at some point.
