Once a favorite, now (historically) disappearing

Southern Washingtonia palms, at one time, lined many of our local avenues. Of those that have died off - either hit by lighting, pests or of old age - few are ever replaced. Standing above the clouds, some swaying close to 100 feet high, these select palms are capable of living twice our lifetime - up to 150 years.
