The things I desire in a palm tree is
a) looks good and "Florida-like"
b) grows SLOW, and not too high
c) cold hardy.
d) not messy
I personally do not like the queen palms because they grow tall fast, had have seed pods that can fall and do damage. Too often they are planted too close to the home.
I have 3 Washingtonians that are getting too high for me to trim myself, although I have a 32' extension ladder just for that one reason.
I planted a pindo palm in my front yard last year. I really like that, cold hardy, pretty, and will not get too big.
