Thanks for all the comments on the website referral. Maybe it'll spark some interest in palm collecting also. There are several species of palms and cycads (very slow growing) that do not reach those heights and will add a tropical touch to your yard. Feel free to ask for links or info.

Another warning when taking down those palms, especialy if they are close to your house. Palms are dense and deceptively heavy. I was surprised when we took down the first King. The crown alone will easily go through your roof. We used ropes, a chainsaw, and a tall ladder. I've got another King to take down so I've got plenty to carve but I'm sure you could find some T.C.ers who will help for free palm wood and drinks after!
