Thumbs down Just Say No!

It's unfortunate that unknowing residents still request and demand queen palms and that landscapers recommend and plant them.

They are really borderline unsuitable for our climate zone, and are a constant maintenance headache between pests, rodents, fertilization and diseases.

Villagers need to learn that there are other good and better choices and landscapers need to just say no regarding supplying and planting them.

They truly win the prize for being the #1 Florida trash palm!
