to KGL, in case you missed it the first time I asked: Sylvester palms typically develop a crown in the range of 10 to 15' wide, and you said in your original post that "Each frond can be up to 10 feet in length." Isn't the palm in the picture going to eventually hang over the homeowner's driveway a little too much? As slow as sylvesters grow vertically it's not like the crown will be all overhead. I can already see shadows on the driveway. I just don't like seeing palms being planted too close to driveways, sidewalks, houses and then the homeowner eventually becoming unhappy with it & end up having it removed. Wouldn't a sabal palmetto, a queen, or a washy been a better choice for that location? I realize TV lots are small & you often don't have a lot of room to work with, but why plant something that will eventually cause problems?
And in no way am I implying that I haven't made the same mistake myself.
