My wife wanted this palm because it was what she grew up having in her yard in Ocala. That's in north Florida in case you didn't know. She had a pet fox named Camo, so I needed to find her a great anniversary gift as her father passed away suddenly due to Cancer around Christmas time last year. :( This was very important to arrive on time I opted for a bow. everything went great it arrived exactly on the date of our anniversary. Which made it extremely special to us. We planted it in her fathers memory. We go out back once or twice a week and sit on a blanket and read the her fathers favorite bible verses. I just want to thank this company for making a lasting impression on my wife and I. The trunk was even big and thick enough for her to carve his name on it. Her father lives on through this tree. every time the wind blows it her sign he is watching over her. Thank you all so very much from the bottom of our hearts. I really cant tell you how much this meant to us.
