Sorry to hear about this disease affecting the sabal palms. I hope they can find a cure. I lived in FL in the early-80's and we lost 6 acres of orange tree groves, but not to really disease. There was hurricane David in '79, then we had some bad winters in the '83 and '84 seasons. My dad has two giant mango trees in the back yard now, but I don't plan on taking them down when I get back. They are easily 45ft tall with 30ft-wide canopies. As long they they continue to produce a plethora of mangoes they'll have a home. I hadn't thought of carving mango, I'll have to give that a shot at some point. |
