I love it….do you all as well?
Indeed!
But it should be up to its ankles in water. Oh,well, next year. mmm
Never imagined such a thing in Westport!
It showed up unannounced on Friday. Palm trees have become the newest summer landscape rage.
Fabulous…..a little glamour!
What? 🤔
Looks like the perfect Saples senior prank. 😊
A Tree Grows in … Compo!
Love to know how some one pulled that off. I can’t imagine that it would be easy to buy a Palm tree in Connecticut. Hope we get to read the back story.
The Southport Nursery on US RT 1 had a couple. Across the street from Garelick & Herbs
But then, Palm Trees in the Snow …?
Just to be clear, it was not planted by the Parks and Rec Department nor was it by the Tree Warden. Hopefully, whoever planted it will remove it and save the tree.
is it in the way of a sidewalk?
I was wondering who would buy them from Izzo’s, lol they will be a one season hit!
