Most resorts want tall palm trees when the resorts open, not baby palms that will take years to grow.<BR/><BR/>When they build new resorts and new shopping centers in Scottsdale, they will usually lift the palms into place by crane, and sometimes even by helicopter in order to plant tall palm trees. <BR/><BR/>You can see the same thing even for houses. If you look at the masthead photo for Julie's Scottsdale Daily Photo site, you will see mature palm trees silhouetted agaist an Arizona sunrise. That photo was taken from Julie's front door. The houses are less than 10 years old and the palms were planted when the houses were built. Those palm trees were obviously planted as tall, mature trees.Dave-CostaRicaDailyPhoto.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02567583999945259422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525511383960330850.post-26955619594812820842009-03-18T05:53:00.000-07:002009-03-18T05:53:00.000-07:00It is really a grand entrance, and I like the idea...It is really a grand entrance, and I like the idea of the cook-outs in the desert...VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10186211344492845052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525511383960330850.post-54053896588797547632009-03-18T05:52:00.001-07:002009-03-18T05:52:00.001-07:00It's so pretty!
