Palm trees on Canal

Why?

Looks silly in magnolia and oak country.

I think they look nice. In fact, they are about the best looking thing on Canal Street at the moment!

On that we agree!!

Looks silly? I think it makes canal look great actually.

Apparently these aren%26#39;t the first--

';Most critics complained that since the trees were not native, perhaps they don%26#39;t belong. However, the Jesuits introduced the Canary Island date palm to the city about 200 years ago. And there used to be, until the 1970s, palms on Canal Street. ';

History repeats itself............. Also, large palms can easily be added to an area unlike an Oak or a Magnolia. It%26#39;s a quick answer to adding trees to an enviroment.
