They are all over !!!! Here in the Hammocks they easily reach 3 to 4 stories high !!!!


(Washingtonia robusta (Mexican fan palm or Mexican washingtonia) is a palm tree native to western Sonora, and Baja California Sur in northwestern Mexico. It is reportedly naturalized in Florida, California, Hawaii, parts of the Canary Islands, Italy, Spain, and Réunion. )

Miami would look so great with palm trees like that. Trees in Miami are short, besides the Australian Pine trees which I love.
