I have three Washingtonians in my front yard. They were planted 15 years ago when the house was built. They are now getting almost too tall for me to trim.
I am a do it yourselfer, and do not want to pay someone $150 a year to trim these.
Queens grow fast and are messy.....I'd hate to have a seed pod fall on someone or a car, etc.
I believe when deciding on palms, you also want to think about how fast they grow, and how big they get........they can be a maintenance headache before too long. I actually had a friend of mine transport my 32' extension ladder from my NY home to my Florida home, just so I can still trim those palms....
