Sorry Boffin, you've stated another misnomer on this thread.

Correction: Palms not native to Florida are not necessarily invasive and probably aren't invasive, meaning that they do not take over or spread by natural means. Yes, some of them can and do self-seed but you will never see a forest of them.

There are many botanical plants that are invasive in Florida but palms are not one of them!
