Stopping Queen Palm Date Production: Only Option Is Trimming

60 queen palms produce huge date stalks. Dogs eat them, vomit/poop on carpets. Too tall for pole saw. Can't reach dead fronds or date stalks. Queens beautiful but high maintenance!

Expert Advice

Queen palms set inflorescences that mature into seed pods—natural proliferation, cannot be stopped. Only alternative: extendable pole saw (telescoping to 24 ft) to cut seed pods before flowering/seeding. Or pay for annual trimming/removal.
