I had an estimate from a company (mentioned as a great company on this forum) to trim shrubs and maintain my palm trees. I was told they will not remove the seed pods from my tall queen palms until they open up. The pods are too heavy and they will not put their workers at risk of injury to remove the seed pods. They will, however, remove the seed pods after they open up.

I have always had the seed pods removed by my previous shrub and tree maintenance company before the pods opened up. Unfortunately, my original company is no longer trimming my property. That's another story.

I don't know what to do. I honestly do not want the seed pods to open up and make a mess in front of my home. I don't really mind if seed pods in my palms open up in the back and side of my home. The mess won't be a noticeable.

How many of you actually allow your palm tree seed pods to open up?
