| I am in the process of planting palm trees in my backyard and would like to know which you could recommend. The trees will be in the farthest 2 corners of my background and would like something that will look nice but not get extremely tall and leggy maybe something that would grow no more than 8-10 feet. Being the fact that they will be in the back two corners of my backyard they will be open to the wind and all the elements of a fenceless backyard. |
| There are quite a few that would be candidates for your yard. Here are some ones to consider: Windmill Palm (LY), Trachycarpus fortunei Slender Lady Palm, Rhapis humilis European Fan Palm, Chamaerops humilis (A little smaller than your 8-10' range) Broad-leaf Lady Palm, Rhapis excelsa (Marginally hardy in your area) Needle Palm, Rhapidophyllum hystrix (A little smaller than your 8-10' range) Butia Palm, Butia capitata (A little larger than your 8-10' range. The only feather leaves palm in this list.) For more information on these and other palms, check out the web site listed below: http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/scrip... Thanks for the question! |
