The landscape project at the post office is finished. They planted fox-tail palms. Some people thought they should have planted native palms, but these do look very pretty. It is normal that a few of the lower fronds die during transplanting. I asked why they don't trim the dead branches off and was told that it is better to leave them on because some of the energy goes back into the tree in this type of palm. They are like daffodils, you don't cut off the flower after it dies because it sends energy back to the bulb for the following year.
