Funny, when I go to look at houses with no trees, the people are asking my why the plants look so unhealthy. Mimic mother nature, most small plants want to live under the canopy of a tree. Plus tree canopies cool the area. YOU add a bunch of heat with your driveway and shingled roof. ADD SOME TREE.
There was probably several trees growing on your lot before they cleared it. Do your part to replace the oxygen producers that were here before you got here. If you want a sterile environment, get an apartment. |

I read sometime back the city of Miami is asking to plant more trees that produce more shade other then palm trees. |

The Pindo palm is another choice for our possible freezes.

We have a beautiful Sylvester palm in our front yard. Neighbors love it and as they say “it’s Florida”! There is maintenance cost, as others have pointed out, but palms are good for the landscaping economy. That said, if I had a “do over” , I would go with a couple of Sabal palms - less maintenance and native to Central Florida. Good luck.
