We back up to Villas, so not a lot of space between lanai and wall. We had a queen palm planted in each corner of the back yard.

When we did that in 2008(?) we could see fronds sitting on the lanai. They grew much faster than Jamie (landscaper) had predicted and by this year it looked like two telephone poles. Without the view and the trimming becoming more difficult due to height, down they came.

Now we enjoy the neighbor's :thumbup:

I know exactly what you mean. And, if not removed, those seed pods can get so big they look like something out of a scary movie. :22yikes:

It is clearly stated here:

Village Community Development Districts as the bottom FAQ on the page.

Good to know. Thanks very much for noting this.

No need for ARC approval for a palm removal

All, thank you for the clarification regarding PALM tree removal, apparently I did not read the ARC requirements well, I thought it said trees over 4 inch with no clarification for palms. my bad.
