Yup. It was a canary island date palm. When people tell me about cheaper quotes for palms, I encourage them to verify insurance and google fusarium palm wilt, then verify with their crew what steps are taken to prevent it's spread. Palms suck. I'll never compete on price with a palm. love...

It is similar to that plant- but grows mega tall. I'll get some pics. love nick

I disagree about the trunk tie off. Giant Birds of Paradise are extremely top heavy. I had the rigging line just below the head of it and between the 3 of us on the job, it wasn't clear if the head weighed more than the rest of the trunk. So rather than talk about it for 5 more minutes, I...
