we requested NO palm trees. We lived in Orlando for 12 years. We had 10 palm trees to trim, fertilize, clean up after, remove fronds and seed pods.....they grew up so tall that my husband couldn't reach them with the long handled trimmer....we had to have a tree service come over 2X a year to clean them up.

I like plumbago for the front low landscaping and Indian Hawthorne. as for trees, I like live oak, sweet gum (natives to Florida) and Magnolia

I plan to put in a butterfly garden out behind the screen. I do miss my butterflies!
