Yes, those are palm trees.
No, they’re not the indoor variety.
Catherine Davis — who spotted the tropical plants — wonders: “Are our winters that much warmer now? Or is Westport into disposable trees — use one summer, then toss?”
I saw those palm trees being delivered the same day the new trees were being planted. Thought maybe that was where they were headed.
I have no idea if those trees qualify but there are cold hardy palms that can survive subzero weather.
My first impression when I saw them a few days ago was “disposable pool decor”
