Definiely Queens.

What are some unique anatomy features of a queens palm that you know of. I
am studying a Ptychosperma elegans as I write. I see the xylem and phloem.
Its amazing how tough strand within the soft ground tissues give palms
unique abilities to bend without breaking during high winds. I am looking
at the parenchyma cells now. Please tell me more about the anatomy of the
"queens".
I like tree anatomy.

Beware of so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology.
Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding us
that we are not the boss.
Some people will buy products they do not understand and not buy books that
will give them understanding.
