Saw this at the base of my queen palm, the yellow discoloration. Should I be concerned?

How is the cold resistance of the queen palm? How cold is the winter in your region? Do you have any protective measures? I'm on the edge.

It seems to be pretty resistant. Saw lows around 25 for a few days in January. And they seem fine. Just have to cover them when getting to temps freezing and below

I planted one in my flowerpot. I plan to experiment this winter. I hope he can survive in winter.

This is completely normal. These are "boots", so basically the lifeline of a frond. Once the frond dies or is cut, said boot will slowly go from green to yellow to dead. These boots usually stay on the tree until the trunk forms, when you pull them off they reveal rings, which is why you see rings on the trunks of these palms. Leave that boot on even after it dies, it will help with cold protection.

For ANYWHERE in SC that doesn't look bad at all coming out of winter.

Fertilizer and water galore as long as the days are warm and nights on the mild side (above 50F or so).  Emerging spear looks healthy and solid so food, water, plentiful sun and heat should be all you need.
