When has a queen palm tree reached the point of no return?

Question

Recently due to a sprinkler malfunction my queen palms were not receiving any water for approxamately a month, they are now looking very dry with only a little bit of green in them, my question is will they come back if I now continue to water them everyday or are they gonna just keep dying even if I water them? Can they come back??

Thanks

Queen palms are very drought tolerant.  One month without water will not kill them.  They will probably have more yellow and brown lower fronds, but will come back out just fine.  The critical thing is the new leaf "spike" in the top of the tree.  As long as that is green, and begins to grow after getting some water, you are in good shape.
