    To be honest with you I don't know what kind they are or if they have bugs. Never heard of anyone mentioning bugs though. You've got my curiosity going so I'll see if I can find out.......

      Found it. They're called Windmill Palms. The picture in the upper right corner of the below link is a couple of blocks down from where I took mine. Note the tree growing on the top of the apartment building. Looked stupid from day one and is long gone now......

              Interesting stuff. Apparently even the Palmetto palms (Cabbage palms) can get really tall, I never noticed that.

                Do they bear coconuts?

                  Palmetto Palms don't bear coconuts, and I'm guessing the Windmill Palms don't either. Coconut Palms do (who knew?), they are very tall, have smooth trunks that look like cement, and long palm fronds instead of fan shaped. You gotta watch them suckers, they drop a coconut on your head and you die. I could hear them thumping on the ground sometimes outside my bedroom window. Ouch!

                    Garth, your camera and skills are going to put me to shame...

                    I am happy to announce that Stator spent hs first day getting into all sorts of trouble around the house. When I have spare moment or two, I'll upload some photos.

                    He was supposed to go on a ride with me this past Saturday, but plans changed when both girls decided they were coming with me, so I had to take the cage

                      Anyway on the way to the park Stator spotted some palm trees. He couldn't believe we have them in Kanada. I told him they were Snow Palms { he sure is a gullible little fella }



                      .....
                      I too would not have thought of palm trees in Canada.

                      Snow Palms, you say.

                      They may not bear coconuts.
                      But does look like they attract cranes.

                      Nice photos.
