I'm sure you'll survive with the "few" that you already have!

sunfish

I hope I'll be alright.

Most of the street trees on my street are Queen Palms. The city use to trim them once a year.They no longer do this . There are palm seeds everywhere. So I am going to remove the one's in front of my house that I planted 20years ago.
I was thinking how cool it would be to replace all the Queen palms on my street with banana plants.

There might be some restrictions on what sort of "trees" you can plant in your neighborhood. Jon once told me of troubles he had after a crazy woman (neighbor) complained.

There are restrictions. The City has a list of trees that can be planted depending on the size of the parkway.None of them are fruit trees. There mainly concerned about roots lifting the sidewalk.I wanted to plant a couple figs but I just might plant bananas. They won't hurt the sidewalk as long as I keep them thinned.The'll be easy to remove if I have trouble with the city.

Thats bad about figs, it would look great there. I dont understand how they allow planting palms and not the fruiting trees?

The palms has long but small roots,no problem for the sidewalks.When I removed the front porch I found roots from the palm that's 25' away.

Depends on a spicie. Check the P. Canarienisis roots, they destroys everything arround.

Agreed, I saw some pictures of destroyed pavements. The wider and more massive palm you've got (Jubaea, Phoenix...), the more likely will it want to expand in width. Although most of the palms have typically only vertical roots.


Fruit trees require much more attention and work. Palms need only pruning and seed/fruit harvesting.
Most of the fruit trees require pruning, fertilizing, irrigation, insekticides, biological protection... and aside from citrus trees, tourists are not interested in seeing what they could see at home.

I was getting quotes for some repairs to a rental home yesterday. Contractors are hungry for work in my area and being quite competitive. I'm hoping you're able to get decent prices for the work you're having done, Tony!
