Those I really like... Are they hard to start from cuttings... I finally learned to do the cuttings off the tropical hibiscus... I have one with roots on it now... tickles me...that's a first...I will have to get me a Christmas tree palm too... Are they slow growing...I have quite a few different fan palms...they are small yet...started them from seed...I also started king palm, bamboo palm...my memory doesn't serve me well I have more than several more...
I fell in love with tropicals in Hawaii also....that is where we got married...
I had a clean slate to start with out back around the pool....the look is always changing through the spring and summer..
There were two redbud trees on one far side of the pool and two dogwoods between the house and the pool...And a red maple in the far corner...
All I could keep thinking about how I wanted to make the area around the pool a tropical jungle to the best of my ability. I am beginning to make a little lead way now..
