There are two species of this palm commonly used around South Florida homes and landscapes. The one above is W. Robusta and the "petticoat" of dead fronds continue to hang on unless they are blown or trimmed off and this species does not get as tall as the other. Here is a shot of them towering over my house.
If you are looking for a way to add drama to your Jupiter home, these palms can do that! And they are quite cold tolerant so you don't have to worry about winter weather hurting them.
Thinking of moving to the Jupiter area? Unlike many agents, I have lived here 21 years and can show you the best values, locations and opportunities. Contact me at rsites@bellsouth.net or on Skype at rsites or call/text at 561-762-4073. I can show you homes listed for sale by all brokers. Or you can search for a home yourself at www.CoastalFlrealestate.com.
