I am looking for suugestions from people who have palm trees on patio villa lots. I don't think I want one that gets to tall.

Also do I need to let village district know that I am going to moce a bush and plant a palm tree?

Appreciate all replies.

I'd suggest you ride around patio villa neighborhoods that are several years old and look at any that have palms planted in their front yards. That will give you a good indication of what works and looks good. You can always knock on a door to ask what kind of palm they have.

Yes, I believe you should go through architectural review for these landscaping plans.
