We'll be planting some palm trees in the fall, so this is an interesting thread for me. We want a large decorative tree for the front yard, perhaps a Silvester. And we need some short globular palms for the back yard perimeter to provide privacy.

Pindo and Sabal palm trees appear to be very hardy. But I think they both generate fruit. As a seasonal resident, I wonder how much clean-up is required. If the fruit drops, and isn't immediately cleaned up, I suppose it would attract snakes and rodents. Just a thought.
