There is something very appealing about the Queen Palm - it is alive and flowing and rustles in the wind. I was initially enthralled until I started doing some research. If you love the weeping, rather than upright look of a palm and want something that is perfectly suited to our climate look at either the Ribbon or Australian Palm. They are
graceful and have a beautiful reddish trunk and not messy. Now you will pay more than you would for a Queen, but you probably won't have to remove and replace it in your lifetime.
