Landscaping - I'd like your opinions and pictures

[divnkd101]

Sean, be careful with the Queen Palm. If I remember correctly, don't they bud a large amount of little fruit pods (Orange in color). You may not want that mess in your pool or spa. We are planning on using some Pygmy Date Palms alongside several Sago palms. I will try to find some pictures and get them posted. I would caution you on the Queen palms. Ask your landscaper and see what he/she says. The Oleanders will offer some nice cover to the pool equipment.

Addition to the post. I just found this website:

Copied from website:
Fruits: Yellow to orange, produced in copious quantities

Pests or diseases: Ganoderma, phytophthora bud rot

Uses: Specimen tree

Bad Habits: Fruit is messy. Weak-roots combined with a prodigious sail-like canopy makes it prone to topple in strong winds. Frizzletop a serious problem if not feed regularly especially on alkaline soils. Pollen hazard. Very quick growing, tall palm hard to prune. You will graduate from pole saw to ladder and pole saw to cherry picker in a few years.

Cost: $$ -- reasonable
