Arecastrum romanzoffianom and Cupress arizonica fastiga


Has anyone any experience of the lovely Queen Palm (Arecastrum Romanzoffianom). I  want to plant one in an area near our car park where we had a pine tree and now the root/stump has nearly decomposed.Will I have to tie up the fronds for a year or so.  I have seen newly planted Washingtonias with tied up fronds.
I would be grateful for any information both negative and positive about this palm. 
 
 Also, I am considering  Cupress Arizonica Fastiga for screening. It has such a lovely blue colour!.  These will be planted in very large containers.  4/5 ft high X 4 ft wide for each tree.  Have others planted cupress in containers and if so is there any advice for me? Pruning, suitability etc.,  thanks
