We have 2 queens and trimmed them ourselves for the first 5 years.

Now our lawn guy does it with a ladder. He says when they get too tall for his ladder he will rent a cherry picker and do a bunch of "tall palm" houses at once.

A neighbor recently had a company with a cherry picker trim her trees.

So, there is an alternative...no doubt more costly and better done if you can combine the job with several neighbors.

Yeah, queens are a lot of work but they sure do look like Florida. Everybody was planting them when we landscaped in 2007. Now, you don't see them in new developments quite so much.
