Comments: |
The Queen Palm may be the worst choice of plant for any landscape in terms of maintenance, performance and longevity. Queen Palm is not tolerant of most soils in our area and as a result, deficiencies and disease plague this palm. Fruit and dead fronds create litter in urban landscapes. Avoid this plant. |
