A signature of the tropics is the palms and palm trees. Love them or hate them they are abundant in the tropical landscape. If you have them in your yard it is great exercise because you are forever picking up the ‘self cleaning’ branches that fall. The celebrated thing about palms they have long been associated with weekend escapes or holidays. The gentle breeze rustling in the coconut palms, looking out to the crystal clear waters has been a favourite in the advertising world to entice us to holiday in a sweltering climate. They happen to be pretty resilient too, which is a good thing, when the gentle sea breezes come in. Much better to have around instead of a big gum tree, they kind of add to a challenge you could probably do without at that time. Regardless of how you view them they are going to be a sign of the tropics for a long time to come.
