Do palms count as trees under the covenant rule against removing any with trunks 4" or more?

Palms or not, I'd like to see a change in the deed restrictions to allow more xeriscaping and even complete grass removal. I'll grant that lawns look "nicer" than rock gardens, but given the financial and environmental costs of watering, it might be worth considering. Also seems like a heck of a lot of retirees would be just as happy never to bother with yardwork again, me included.
