Default Palm trees

I just want to say something about palm trees.
(Which I love!)

This has been my experience though. We put many kinds in when
we built our house in Tampa in 1999.

We put in Washingtonian palms which get very tall.
As they grow you have to trim them and it gets expensive.
The canary palms need magnesium and we ended up having
to feed them with our lawn care company.

I just want to "warn" you that they will cost you $$$ over time.
They look great, very Floridian, but also don't provide much
shade.

Just FYI.
