And deciduous trees and conifers put nothing on the ground after a storm...right?

That's the beauty of being here in Florida: one has the option to have palms, or not. At our previous home, we had four acres, and hundreds of hardwood trees. Oaks, walnuts, hickory, maple, birch, etc. You want to talk about a mess following storms? A typical Midwestern thunderstorm would generally equate to me spending DAYS cleaning up the tree trash. I'll take picking up a few palm fronds any day!
