What should we do with a tall queen palm? It’s looking worse and worse.
James Gill says
Probably dead. Wait and see.
Nilda Reyes says
What should I do with the fall queen palms? During the freeze, the branches drooped all the way to the ground. I can tell some snapped but not all. I have three in my front yard. All in the neighborhood queen palms look the same.
Should a cut the branches that are drooping to the ground shorter to try to take some weight off and hopefully they’ll spring back up?
James Gill says
Probably dead, wait and see. You can trim off branches that are totally brown.
