I guess I am surprised to have four concurrent pods on one tree. The smaller tree had one pod still in the husk that we have cut down.

For those of you with a green thumb or more experience with queens....is this unusual? Any other explanation? I've looked at a couple of websites but haven't come across any discussion on multiple pods.
As a former queen palm owner I would say there is nothing unusual happening with you palms. Multiple pods are not uncommon.

Be careful cutting the pods off the tree. They are very heavy so make sure they fall away from you. Don't let them fall on other plants.
