There is a Queen disease unofficially called butt rot. Started at the north end is working its way south. The biggest problem besides worrying that a good wind will bring it down is that disease gets into the ground and you shouldn't plant anything in that hole for at least five years as any new plant will get the disease.
The minute a landscaper recommends putting a Queen Palm in the ground here, I remove them from my recommended list. They are the cheapest palms but can do the most harm. Quite simply, palms really don't belong in central Florida. This is not the tropics.
