sdrealtor-do you wish you had plucked that little guy up when it was small? I planted a queen palm at my last place,I think it was 6ft tall at the time,after 5 years I think it got to 8-9ft. So things don’t always grow the way you think they will. I’m trying to decide/find the perfect tree to plant in the yard of our new place. I know what I don’t want-anything that drops leaves,eucalyptus,pine needles,if anybody has suggestions I’m open. I’m thinking king palm. Anybody try planting coconut trees here in southern california,seems like they should thrive but I don’t see them here.
