I think that the native part is confusing to many. Assuming that palms aren't native they say only native plants should be used when many beloved plants to them are also not native while several palms are native. But this palm "discrimination" is pretty funny! I can't figure out who it is and why they do it, and here of course its not an issue but maybe some people in places think that their areas will turn into a tourist trap looking area and they want to resist that look and the type of people it would attract? I don't really know, but I'm planting as many palms as I can and nobody is complaining and if they were I'd create a special department to hear them. NOT!!!
