The Post article says, "As of 11 p.m. Monday, fewer than 200 customers in Palm Beach County
remained without power, according to Florida Power & Light. Earlier
in the evening, nearly 2,800 customers had lost power." But guess what? Lake Worth Utilities NEVER lost power--our electricity is the most reliable.
Read about it...
But what better weather for new plantings and new trees. A few weeks ago, and just in time for all this rain, one of our Foxtail palms that had been struggling to survive over the past few years finally saw its last day. I was told that the new tree would need to be watered every day for the first 30 days and boy have we been getting rain.
Thanks to the suggestion of our former Tree Board chair, Gael Silverblatt, I drove to Amelia's Smarty Plants at 1515 N. Dixie Highway, picked out a tree, and they were here the very next day. It will take this little tree several years to catch up with the others but it looks healthy and happy.
If I hadn't read Smarty Plants' web site I never would have known that the Rugose Spiraling White Fly has subsided and no longer a problem. This will save me $1,160 a year treating trees that no longer need it. If you haven't been to Smarty Plants yet, drop by. The business is situated on 2 acres and you will be amazed at all the inventory and special items that they sell.
What trees could you possibly be treating for $1,160 a year? What a load of b.s.
ReplyDeleteThe only person full of BS is you. Stay away from here. Thanks very much.
ReplyDeleteSmarty Plants is great, they are so nice and they have such a great inventory. I actually buy a lot of gifts there.
ReplyDeleteHi, that development needs shade trees. It's all buildings and asphalt parking lots. Foxtail palms grow slowly and require much care.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your extremely helpful suggestion, anonymous at 11:39. Perhaps you would like to join our board of Directors and bring that suggestion forward. They will tell you that they have a responsibility to the Association and during hurricanes, large shade trees can be a detriment to our structure if blown over. Nearly every single one of them on Lake Osborne were blown over in 2004. The Foxtail can grow to 40 feet and a 15 feet wide canopy. Actually, you don't know what you're talking about and just like to bust balls...Lakeside Point is full of trees.
ReplyDeletePretty little Palm. Good luck on your newest addition to Lakeside Point !
ReplyDeleteYes, lovely tree from a great place. And I often wish I had moved to Lake Osborne instead of my supposedly great neighborhood that is full of miserable people (except for a few very nice folks)+I'll never understand why your critics spend so much time posting about you. If I don't like someone, I just ignore him/her. Anything else is a waste of valuable time-unless you just don't have a life. Jeesh.
ReplyDeleteThanks, anonymous above. As far as critics, some people just can't handle the truth or a different opinion. To them, the First Amendment should be dead. It's all politics, albeit, bad politics and they don't faze me.
