[B]Queen palms are cheap (that's means they are less than inexpensive!) and that's why landscapers in this area sell them and plant them. If they survive, the homeowner is lucky because we are a little too north for them to really do well. Cockroaches love them and they harbor many other insects. No offense meant to the homeowners who have them, but they really are "trash palms." They no longer are a desirable palm to plant anywhere in Florida.
I've said it before and will say it again . . . I have not seen a single Queen plam anywhere in The Villages that does not have "frizzle top." Even newly planted trees that I actually see being planted, have it. Landscapers who plant these trees should be ashamed of themselves.
