To get this out of the way upfront, I am not a fan of palm trees. Well, at least not the very tall ones that grow around here and do absolutely nothing to shade areas or produce any fruit. In heavy wind dead branches can come down and kill you. In fire, those same branches act as torches. Yet here we are. There are two palms that get a pass however because they look lush thanks to the ivy growing at the base and climbing high up the trunk. Quite exotic looking.
You can see the care taken at the base to trim it back. Then it goes wild as it climbs up, making it look like a different plant altogether. Truly nature, when left to itself, is amazing.
