I did not know that, until this thread took off.
When I started reading the thread, I just wanted to learn about palm trees. But as the thread continued, oh my goodness, that is when my loserdom became all too apparent.
Yes. I have a couple of queen palms in my yard. Mea culpa. Mea culpa. Mea maxima culpa.
I did not plant them. But I want to take care of them. Until they offend me in some unforgivable way. And then it will be, "Off with their heads! And their butts!"
I have to laugh because on TOTV sometimes people sure can get into it a bit. Or maybe I am just laughing to try to hide my shame. My loserness. Hey. I sure can't hide those big queen palms out there in my yard.
But for now, I just want to take care of what I have. So thank you for trying to help those of us who are harboring big, tall, lovely queen palms, here in Zone 9a, as we teeter on the brink.

I'm with you Laurie. Moved here in '07--house built in '04--4th owner. Had two Queens in front yard---don't know who planted them but I do love the Queens. We lost one a few years after we moved here due to cold but the one left is beautiful.
Three or four of our neighbors had them but someone came through the neighborhood and "poked" their finger in the bark and told them they had "the rot"--therefore, they had them cut down. I didn't let them "poke" mine --- it looks healthy--is so full and we will take care of it as long as we can.
