Notice up around the growing point, the trunk is getting larger in circumference, that's a sign of one happy content palm!

Great pics. I also love the shot with the live oaks. They may not be palm trees and it might not even look tropical, but its defiantely a classic southern scene (dirt road and huge 100+ year old live oaks).

Amen, how much more shall the Tree of Life and Streams of Living Water Be?

For anyone interested; Palms where dipicted in gold in the Old Testament Temple where Jesus spoke.

When I was a kid,I visited my Grandparents in Mississippi,Fayette to be precise.
There was this Live Oak in a yard we used to walk by,(on the way to the general store)it was unbelievable,couldn't have been more than 40'tall but the spread was hundreds of feet wide!Spanish moss and tens of squirrels playing on it,definitely my favorite tree growing up and very much indicative of the the beauty of the south.

There's a live oak just below Charleston that's called the angel oak & is 1400 years old. The stories it could tell!

I like the live oaks it reminds me of south Georgia.There is a alot of live oaks and long leaf pines there.Ive heard of the real old tree your talking about.There is one in some town in south georgia,I forget the name of the town but it is somewhere around the same age.Its limbs are spread out so far and so big that they have to be proped up.Love the pictures,you know why I like them so,they have some nice,big Butia Palms in them.I recon youve figured out by my name there my favorite palms.
