Positive	tropycpalm	On Mar 28, 2009, tropycpalm from Kissimmee, FL wrote: This is a great tree. It is very wind resistant, loosing no branches and very few leaves in the hurricanes of 2004. It also seems to be very clean with very little in the way of leaf litter. I displays very little seasonal variation.
