Queen Palms do provide the tropical look and are the cheapest to aquire.

However as they mature they are dirty, requiring at least twice a year frond and seed pod removal.

If I had it to do over again there would be only plants, cold hardy and native to the area.....and there would be no queen palms.

The annual $$$ to maintain them is not offset by their looks.....in my opinion.
