Default I may change. We may plant them on our lot.
I am not sure why I am not a big fan of palm trees in my yard. It could well be because they cost so much, or because they are supposed to be home to palmetto bugs (is that true?) or because our house here kinda looks like a midwestern house and I kinda like that.

I love to look at them all around me and love to paint pictures with them and think they are beautiful.

I have heard that they have small root balls and can fall over but I haven't seen any falling over. I also have heard that the only ones that really, really, really can withstand frost are planted in the common areas by the Morse bunch because they are SO expensive.

It must be because I am thrifty. Call that tight.
