Here is one of the Washingtonia palms growing next to the Koi pond. Adds to the tropical look of the pond are along with the Japanese banana. These have done great for years here in Western Washington state.

this is NOT a healthy way to prune a palm (these two are way overpruned, and though will probably be OK, this practice endangers their survival)
