Have you noticed the exorbitant number of Queen palms in The Villages? The main reason is because they are cheap! They are also trash trees (my opinion) and our weather is really not suitable for them; we are too far north. In addition, most of them, even those which are newly planted, have frizzle top.

Although there are many nice varieties of palms, they aren't my go-to idea in landscaping. Rats love them and that is where they live (in the canopy of the palm).

How about a nice mid-size tree so you can have some shade in the summer and possibly some flowers in the spring and/or fall?
