We would like to visit some nursery's when we are there, can anyone please recommend the good ones to browse?

We have been told the Sylvester Palm is a good choice and have included one in our landscaping.

is there any palm tree that you need to do NOTHING and it will be fine or do they all have NEEDS.

from my research but no first hand experience, no

But the basic is a soil test and fertilizer several times a year are the basics.

OKAY... Is there an ornamental tree substantial enough to be planted in the front in place of the revered palm. And if you choose to do the pebble/stone look, how do you fertilize? Do you shovel the stones to one side, fertilize, shovel to the other fertilize, then put the stones back?

If I can suggest, they are extremely helpful

Thanks Jimbo. I will call or go to the office figure this out. I get jazzed up to get the landscaping done and then fizzle because I just really can't figure it out.
