The palm tree comes original from Brazil and likes a lot of water and nutrients. The queen palms roots grows more outwards then downwards so it is best to move the dripping system emitters farther away from the trunk as it grows.
These three palm trees were planted at the same time but the one to the right did not get enough water during a long period.
More pictures that show how different palm trees grow. All 4 of them planted at same time.
When to cut branches.
Some gardener loves to cut down branches, no brown branches can be left on the tree. That is not a good philosophy for the tree, it needs it branches. Only cut down branches that are hanging down. If a tip of a branch is brown and looks dead you can cut of just the brown part.

How to plant a tree.
When you plant a palm tree make sure the hole is wide enough specially if you live on hard soil. The hole should be 10 to 20 % larger than the container the plant comes in. When you put the plant in the hole it should be at same level as the ground. Dig the hole a little deeper and put in some new soil. Mix 50 % mulch and 50 % soil. After you put in the plant put the mixing around the plant. After you done, water a lot, and you can also add some root stimulator.
