I took the smart way out here is my story: I bought my property approx: 12 years ago, with the property it " Had " Six yes ( 6 ) Palm Trees ( 2 ) in the back of the property ( 4 ) in the front. My opinion after a very short time ( Very ) that the said Palm Trees were a Useless Expensive Nuisance.

So with that in mind a quick decision ( Very ) was made...Bye, Bye Palm Trees:

I have read over the years the many, many concerns & complaints from individuals & neighbors about palm trees that they have...&... Still Have.

For me it's like telling a child over & over again about what to do about a concern that they have...& He/She, Ignores & Do Nothing at all to Correct the Problem ..It's called " Whining ".

Stop the " Whining " be an " Adult " & Grow Up Make a Decision. It really is ( Very ) Simple. :

PS: The Palm Tree's ? Queen Palm, totally 100% Useless.
