From what I've been told and read, cutting the palm down is the only solution and, as was said, not replacing it with another palm in that spot. This has been an ongoing problem with Queen Palms in TV for several years and is spreading. Good landscapers try to convince their customers to not plant Queen Palms. Unethical ones recommend them, knowing that the odds are they will have to be replaced in a few years. At least that's how I see it.
