What kind of palm trees are these?
We live in Florida. In the last 3 weeks we have over 3 offers from total
strangers to buy these palm trees http://www.lomicka.com/images/misc/DSC00032.JPG http://www.lomicka.com/images/misc/DSC00033.JPG for $250 each. When we purchased the house the owner told us they were 'special'. I have forgotten the name she told me but I thought it had either 'fire' or 'red' in the name. What kind of trees are these? What makes them 'special?'. Thanks, Steve |

The previous owner might have thought they were Washingtonia filifera - Desert Fan Palm, but they are not. W. filifera has a much thicker trunk. Either way, $250 each is a fair price for that size palm. They will eventually grow to over 50' and become a maintenance nightmare. Sell them and replace them with Foxtail Palms if you want palms or some nice flowering tree. |
Thanks Ricky.......
