A fine dining chicken restaurant and palm tree, are the perfect marriage of architecture and flora.

It's as if they're grown in this country, just to prove that they can actually be grown.
The young CIDPs in gardens in the suburbs here are about twice the size of those. They look like the sort of thing that would get planted outside for a few months in somewhere like Chicago, and then taken away in Oct/Nov before the cold wipes them out.

They've been there for a little over 3 years so there's no immediate risk of that happening. They're in good nick, just slow growing.

Actually I like palm trees in semi-arid landscapes or on tropical beaches, here for example: http://7-themes.com/data_images/out/...each-palms.jpg

But, old trees with large, spreading crowns are more beautiful in my eyes. These are my kind of trees:

I love palm trees. They're one of nature's pieces of art.

Favorite one at the time is Verschefeltia Splendida, a small stilt root palm with broad leaves.

I'm another lover of palm trees. I just finished trimming the dead fronds off of my Sabal louisiana and Washingtonia robusta.

The entire foreground doesn't match the architecture in my opinion, so they should get rid of those ugly buildings lol, or at least clean them, they don't look like they're supposed to be that dark.

Would they do that in Chicago? I haven't seen anyone even try to bother with palms here, seen a few in NYC.
