The Issue Of Owning A Palm Tree




In sunshine states such as CA and FL, owning a palm tree or two is a status symbol. The palm trees are very expensive to purchase and even more expensive to maintain. The palm leaves do not fall down by themselves, they have to be cut regularly by a professional "tree monkey". Betty's neighbor has one palm tree; here is what Betty observes.




A palm tree in my neighbor's yard, it's a background for my rabbit barn.



The "tree monkey" is climbing the palm tree.



There is a palm leaf coming down.



The "tree monkey" is using a big chain saw to cut the palm leaves.



The dead palm leaves are almost all cut off.



All done, until next time.

  1. That is interesting. I just assumed they grew like any other tree. It would be worth it if they all had coconuts!
