While Palms are very "Florida" and can look very nice, especially if pruned periodically (and well-watered and fertilized in the first year or two after planting), we decided that Palms may not be appropriate everywhere. For example, we thought we would get several "clusters" of Queen Palms for our front yard. But upon studying the style of our house, with the "rocking chair-sized porch" in the front, we are deciding on more of a "deep south" style of landscaping, focusing more on the Live Oak with its' Spanish Moss, or similar tree in our front yard.

We may change our minds again after we move in - probably with the help of a landscape designer's opinion.
