The big palm trees that caused us such aggravation are now gone. This left a huge blank space in our landscaping. We went tree shopping to fill in the area. Our criteria was: palms that don't need trimming. We also had several small palm bushes in pots that needed to go in the ground so we used some of them as well.
Our friendly and expensive nursery, Green Label, delivered our new palm tree. This palm drops leaves all on its own without having to trim it or climb a ladder. All we have to do is pick up the palm fronds and put them in the trash.
Our landscaper dug holes down to the coral bedrock which is not very deep. Apparently, large trees can grow and thrive in shallow soil. The landscaper hacked off about two inches of roots, put the tree in the ground and called it good. Rick ran a drip system to each plant.
Now we have plants surrounding the cabana that will grow to about 8-10 feet and create a tropical feel for us on this desert island. It another project in the books to create a low maintenance garden.

Looks beautiful.
