I like the look of palms too and also like the Sylvester. As far as the rodents climbing the trees and jumping ontot he roof to gain entry, has anyone ever seen the palm trees in Waikiki? Most all of the tall palms there have a sheet metal band around the tree trunk about 12to 18" wide. No one has ever told me why they are there, but I have always assumed it was to keep rodents from climbing past that point. Wonder if something like that would work here?
