Pricey Palm Trees

Is the state of Florida wasting your taxpayer money on expensive palm trees?

leave the nice palm trees!

They look great and it beautified the city

[@jordanphillips1541]

One of the silliest videos I’ve ever seen. Florida being criticized for making there city’s look great with these amazing palm trees. No that money shouldn’t need to go to schools of the homeless. They don’t teach anything of value in schools after the 4th grade. Why would anyone want to give to the homeless. Homeless people need to work like the rest of us. This ain’t a free ride. Work or leave.

It’s not a waste of money

Take it from an ohioan who visits, we are in aw of highway overpasses they trump our local "tropical" botanical gardens. They are apart of what brings us back year after year.

I and my colleagues planted all those palm trees in the area of ​​Caselberry Fl, it was like in 2015, now I work for my own company, with good experience in tree maintenance and palm trees 👍🏼

Not a waste of money. Literally the best use of money.

If you want tourism in your city and for land to go in value then you need to invest in its presentation.

They are gorgeous and at $2,500 each they are a steal. We tried getting one of those here in California and the nursery wanted $25,000! Makes Florida unique 👍

Love the look people will always complain

[@g8risgr849]

This is spot on. They look great for a year. Then not maintained because it's a ton of work and expensive...end up looking like crap compared to initial. Government is just stupid.

[@shannonpeak2790]

Yes and the native cabbage palms look like h e ll hockey sticks ... Never heard someone criticize trying to make a town look beautiful

[@gcristian929gmail]

Nice things come with a price but it sucks that they aren’t maintaining them. People with traffic school should be brought to clean the streets & clean up city landscape.

Waste of money gtfo outta Florida then

[@heinuchung8680]

The trees are beautiful but they are being ripped off on the price

[@jfveb]

In my country we have the same climate as California (mediterranean) ... but we don’t use palms as much as LA uses for example.. although we could... the ones we have (that are not that much) are mainly washies, dates and (Phoenix canariensis that are almost all dead due to a bug )... so our problem is the opposite funny enough 😅😂 btw I live in Portugal 🇵🇹 in Europe

This is in Florida which has a tropical climate.

Wasteful spending. There are plenty of native Palms that are loads cheaper.

[@thefunguy5069]

Yeah but these palms look better

[@KingTriton1837]

@@thefunguy5069 eh. That's subjective to the viewer. It is not the rule. You could trim the native palms and still save money and the environment. The native palms would fair better.

they aren’t trees though

[@thefunguy5069]

Their actually grass

I wish palm trees grew in md

[@jailtonnascimento5217]

They have several in Ocean City. Check on KZbin. You will be surprised!

[@md_randoms2429]

@@jailtonnascimento5217 yeah but they don’t last during the winter

[@jailtonnascimento5217]

@@md_randoms2429 you are responding without doing your homework. Many hardy palms grow in the ground in MD and are not damaged in the winters. Needle Palm, Chinese Windmill Palm, Saw Palmetto and Dwarf Palmetto are the top ones. They are even grown in NYC.
