Queen palm distance

[Tahoma]

Planted these queen palms 10 feet apart. 
Someone suggested they’re too close. Is it worth re-planting at this point (planted them about a month ago). Any suggestions? 
 

I’ve attached a picture for reference.

The fronds will definitely be intertwined when older if planted that close. Is that a bad thing?…. Depends the look you want. You could theoretically take out every other one to ensure the fronds don’t touch at all but I’d leave them if they were mine. I don’t mind that look. I can’t think of my trees that have 10ft between them.

You'll have a nice privacy screen and lots of shade, which I think you will like.

I’d rather have a screen of bodacious queen palms than my neighbors peering down into my yard when friends/relatives are swimming in my pool (that is a pool under that black cover, right?). Even if it isn’t a living screen discourages nosy lookie-lous from sitting in on your life.

If you want those queens to grow bodaciously be prepared to cater to their needs. They are fertilizer and water hogs that want regular applications of both. Use a quality time-release fertilizer with minor elements targeted toward palms. You don’t say where you live but I suspect out west in a summer arid climate. Provide them water during hot dry spells if you want them to achieve maximum growth and health. Don’t neglect them and they will provide you with the shade and privacy you want. Right away wouldn’t be fast enough for me.

I like em close ---- just enough to get a mower between--- but I'm a hippie

They’re fine. I’ve seen them grouped just inches apart and looking really good with some cure to their trunks. Very tropical. Yours will eventually have a bit of frond mingling but that’s not a bad thing.
