We get some big ones and its not a case of them worring about fruit rather heavy fronds falling in public places.Mackay has a heap of them in their CBD and ANZAC park.The royals in this area are all heritage listed.As for the Cocos palms they are also on a maintenence program so the basket does not get anywhere near full.During trials we left one under a cocos for 12months without maintaining it to see what would happen.It filled half the net but didnt stink and caught all those little berries.A well maintained Cocos palm actually is a nice looking Palm you just have to keep on top of it.
