OMG, what was the homeowner thinking....planting those terrible queen palms? They'll either be 50 feet tall in just a few weeks, or dead after the next frost. LOL

the bluish palm in the foreground is a Bismarckia nobilis, a beautiful palm but they can get big (very wide) pretty quick. I hope this homeowner is on a corner lot cause that palm will need some room to spread. It's also a zone 10 palm, marginally hardy for TV. I did see a few nice ones when we were there in Dec.
