well, one of them is definitely dead.. its possible it already was dead, but I seem to remember it wasn't.

The other fully carved one looked like it was getting dead. These are cabbage palms, which are pretty damn ugly as it is and look dead-ish even when they are alive anyway.

The one that is only 1/3 carved seems to still be alive.

The silly thing is those palms werent even there before the place was turned into a car lot- they owner had them put in- then he gets fined for "harming a live plant" I mean he BOUGHT and PLANTED that thing

but then again, if i had bought and planted three palms, I wouldnt think that carving out a live palm would work either. I'm actually suprised the carver didn't think it would kill the palm.. maybe he's pulled it off in the past.

Either way i think I would have just opted for a regular tiki mounted between the living palms
