The “palm trash” is a result of natural pruning. The Villages does not trim their palms, so as the branches brown and dry out a good wind will bring them down. The Queen palms have very heavy mature branches. I spent the day weeding and cutting back the older fronds from my palms. I never lose branches to the wind or storms and I have no regrets in deciding to have palm trees. They make much less of a mess than the lovely hibiscus flowers that fall and get slimy. Just my opinion with a bit of fact.
