I had a doctor's appt. in Ft Myers Monday. When I got out of the car I was greeted by the sight preserved in the photo below. A tall, curved Washingtonia reached for the crystal blue sky. By the amount it has grown since it was pushed over I deduced it was blown over 60 degrees by tremendous winds of Hurricane Irma nearly 6 years ago and has attained vertical growth ever since. This is one fast growing palm in ideal conditions. I commend the ground maintenance of this location for not hacking it down after the 2017 storm.

    That positioning will minimize the volunteer seedlings!  Not eliminate but minimize.

    Seeing it leaning over the parking area, I'm surprised that it wasn't cut down.

    You sure it's not growing out the back of the blue SUV 🤣?
