Preface (If your not a Sy. rom person this isn’t for you :) )

Conducting a quick cocoon experiment with some queen seeds from my palm 

(poked a hole in one of the lids)

Also some magnificent specimens of others around the neighborhood (Massive Sy. rom and P. canariensis)

And the queen (not my seed source) that is pretty massive (ps how can you beef them up that much without fertilizer and have them be sustained???)

In FL you must fertilize queens. If you don't they will decline, then die. They are water and fertilizer hogs. In SE FL there are many more better palm choices. Queens are Class II invasives.

The Phoenix Canariensis seems to be doing pretty well there. I have heard Meg and others saying they are notorious from suffering from the hot-wet, humid summer conditions in your climate. Nonetheless, that specimen in the picture looks in very good health. I wonder if it varies between individual specimens, like how certain individual specimens deal with my cool winter climate better than others...? 

Dry-summer Oceanic climate (9a)
