spikes everywhere definitely not a palm for recreational areas unless you want to keep people away. I replanted it near my pool house since I don't want people messing near the pipes.

They are doing great there and they are in half shade. (Posted on 11/17/10)

Needle Palm Trees are amazing. They are doing so well here in New Jersey,. (Posted on 12/15/09)

It takes forever for a needle palm to grow to 5 feet. Trust me I have had one for 13 years and its only 4 feet. I ordered another one from here since I had a spot open for one but had to match it so i figured i would go little bit taller thinking that realpalmtrees would send me a four foot or something but when I got it I was surprised, it was 5 feet + so I was definitely happy.
