I live in southwest Florida. This tree grew about thirty feet in two years. Here is a pic of the leaf. This is all one leaf, The small leafs are leaflets...I think...

I have found one site, about trees, and I was wondering what you think of it? I don't know, it is just a list, but I think that a part of all types of palm trees etc is rather good. What is your opinion? So, here is the link about that http://www.treestypes.com/ site.
