1.9.12 - Palms and Palmettos Aim to Please

The nine 16 feet tall areca palms arrived this morning from Miami. They instantly provided a dense and lush screen along the west side, happily blocking the view of the house next door. Nancy Paul directed the hard working crew and by 3pm the palms had been planted, watered and pruned. Then Claudio arrived from Orlando with 15 silver saw palmettos and another large rock and everything was arranged on the north east corner of the property.
