I just don't get these kinds of posts.  A palm tree is ugly?  And that picture of the palm tree blowing in the storm means .....  Don't all trees blow around in a storm and some don't fare as well as palm trees. Strong wind can happen pretty much anywhere. When I lived in OR we had a storm come through that if it were here we would've been given days and days of warnings and time to prepare for. Cat 1 hurricane it would've been called. Lots of trees down and broken windows.
And palms have "fronds".  |

I actually love the look of Palm trees blowing in the wind... even hurricanes or tropical storms.

What's so wrong with palm trees? All tropical climates have them in abundance. If you want other trees simply plant them. Problem solved.

I've always seen palm trees as phallic symbols with a few pathetic pubic hairs sticking out from the northern regions... just sayin'...

Ya, Palms are perty ugly...... Not all, but most of them. If it weren't for the job I got back here in FL. I would be under those big trees breathing the fresh air in, driving the windy roads through the hills and mountains and drinking tap water fed by natural springs in Western Mass. BUT, I was offered a job, and that was most important. I'll go back someday, but not in the near future... Unless I hit the lottery!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like central Florida, we have palms, bananas, oaks, pines, etc. Sorry if that seems "fake" to some--you up north are welcome to keep your falling leaves that create a soggy mess, and dead ugly winter trees. |
