My Washingtonia robusta is looking pretty messy right now. The fronds it grew indoors over the winter have petioles that are longer than usual, and now that it's outdoors being abused by the wind the fronds are all sagging, and one of the newer fronds has snapped completely.

Used to be the queens until wilt took care of them. Then the Washy till wilt took care of it. Now it's the golden canes. To me, messy means a palm that drops unwanted seeds all over.

All my tall coconuts.  Ever since February when the sun began to come out after a very rainy season and the dry winds started to pick up, the huge bifid fronds are scorched, flapping in every direction and some are sagging.

Phoenix Roebelenii by far.  Tons of fertile seeds everywhere, producing volunteers all over the place.  Fronds with deceptively sharp thorns that need trimmed 3 times per year.  Not complaining about the seeds or the dead fronds, but they are the biggest waste producers.
