We have one Sylvester & 3 Roebellinis. You do need to fertilize them 3x a year and trim totally dead fronds, as they die on the bottoms of their canopies, as the trees grow. And yes, keep the seed pods trimmed off in the growing season. The big thing is do not plant any tree too close to the house or birdcage. They grow faster than you think. If I had to do it again, I probably would just put in one Roebellini & that’s it.
Queens are pretty in someone else’s yard, LOL. The seed pods are huge & heavy and the trees grow quite fast.
Not a fan of oak trees. They are more messy than palms & attract squirrels which can damage your roof vents & birdcage. Just my 2 cents.
