Came across an interesting Craigslist ad the other day.  Seems that a local palm tree farm was split up into a dozen 5-acre lots individually up for sale.  One of the buyers wants the palms removed so he can build a house.  Very tall Washingtonia and a couple of CIDP offered for free.  This area is only about a mile from my house.  Anyone willing to dig out some palms will have a tough time with all of the recent flooding (see pics).

    Someone should tell the buyer the price of large oaks or palms. Also the time to reach size if purchase small. Seems better to choose a design that would permit keeping the palms in the landscape.
