I agree with everything LndLocked said. Queen Palms are inexpensive to buy but expensive to maintain. They are full of rodents, roaches and the likes and put out awful nuisance pods and spears once a year. We had four in our yard. Loss one to winter weather (yeah) and the three remaining ones cost us a fortune to maintain. The smart thing to do is to spend the money to have them removed by a professional tree service contractor. Don't just get anyone to do this. Once removed, they require grinding out of the stump rather than removal of the root as it will surely interfere with your sprinkler system.. Hopefully new home owners will read these posts and not make the mistake of having Queen Palms as a part of their landscape. We spent on an average of $45.00 every six weeks ($15.00) each to have them trimmed.
