Having been beachside Brevard 15 years now, have seen a few strong winded storms, Jean, Frances, Mathew, and now Irma.
I am mainly palm and tropical focused... My experience is: fishtail palm and white birds suck in high winds, keep away from house. I always thought coconut palms were good to go, but lost a 25 footer that skimmed the roof and took out 40' of gutter. Foxtail, spindle, and robolini seem to do really good...also, travelers palms have done ok... Areca, so so, at least they won't do much damage to home...My royals have held up well, I keep away from house because of falling fronds... I really want to get mango and avacado trees going, how was you all's experience with those trees and what variety do you recommend? TIA and I hope your homes, trees, and most importantly loved ones fared well in the storm! ------------------------- Brevard Surf Report |
