Too many folks from up north too often expect a palm tree to be like a maple or elm that they can stick in the ground & forget about, as far as any follow up maintenance goes. Palm trees are much different in that they definitely require more KNOWLEDGEABLE care & maintenance on an ongoing basis to thrive & mature. Those that aren't willing to make this commitment need to stick with their northern-look trees & leave the beautiful, tropical, exotic look that palms provide to those homeowners that are.
