Queen palms need a lot of maintenance as the HEAVY pods leave a big mess if not cut out and allowed to open spreading seeds everywhere. As mentioned in other posts they also rot from the inside. I hope to replace our queens with Mule palms this fall. Yes, Queens are a lot less expensive and for a few years you will be very happy with them but sooner or later you'll be paying someone $400 to cut them down. Just my humble ( based on experience) opinion.
