But do the home owners know that when these palms grow they can eventually cause the foundation to crack because of the root growth? We have had several people in our neighborhood cut down their queen palms because it caused their driveway to shift.
Also with the fronds hanging over the house, bugs, rats, snakes, etc. can get on the roof and enter the attic.
And the fronds hanging over the roof can cause water damage to the shingles.
