When you think about Florida, several things come to your mind: summer, vacation, sun, amazing beaches with white sand, blue sky and of course beautiful palm trees. It is difficult to imagine Florida without palm trees. They are everywhere here. The delightful trees remain a popular symbol for warm tropical Florida.
Warm humid climate makes the Sunshine state is the best place to grow these exotic tropical plants. The temperature rarely goes below freezing. The trees grow well in hot humid summer with a lot of rains and the soil of Florida is ideal for palms.
Believe it or not, there are over 2500 different species of palms. Almost all of them can be grown here. They are so different! You can see them every day along streets and coasts, in shopping malls entrances and restaurants, in botanical gardens and theme parks. They are gorgeous and beautiful landscape plants, and I can never have enough of them. Another interesting characteristic of these plants is that they can grow solitary or in clusters. The palms can be self-cleaning (the leaves fall off cleanly) and not self-cleaning (the leaves stay on the trunk of the palm after they dry).... Florida Palm Trees.net
I took some photos of the magnificent trees during our Spring Time visit with friends from West Palm Beach, Asterios and Blair Houstas. Blair and I love the Palm Trees.
Taken along the streets of Miami , Houstas Patio, Trump International Golf Club, West Palm Beach, Florida
These are amateur photos and does not give justice to it's beauty when you see them clusters together or just standing on it's own.
