I had queen palms at my first house and they are a very pretty tree. The only problem is that they grow up to fifty feet in height which makes trimming an issue.

In the new house we've had Mule palms planted. These are a sterile hybrid of a Queen palm and a Pindo palm. They have fronds silmilar to a queen palm but have short trunks and only grow to 25-30 feet tall. I think the Mule palms look nicer than the Queens.
