Palms are also more expensive than any other landscaping tree and provide almost no shade. California Fan Palm, or Washingtonia filifera, while being native to California, is only native to the southeast desert section of the state (Palm Springs, etc.). It's rarely used in landscaping because it grows very slowly, and it's not a good choice for habitat support in coastal cities where it's not part of the ecosystem.

BTW, Many thousands of palms were planted along the larger streets of L.A. in preparation for the 1932 Summer Olympics, as decor.
