Washingtonia robusta
Mexican fan palm:These are the most abundant palms in our landscape, the are very fast growing often resembling a telephone pole and therefore have little value.

Saygrus romanofskiana  
 Queen palm: another fast growing palm, very abundant. May have value if several trees are available and access is good.

Caryota species 
Fishtail palmsare monocarpic, this means that the tree dies after flowering. If left unmolested, Caryotas may be around a while, often the shock of transplant will cause the tree to blossom, effectively killing it.

Arcantophoenix Species
King palms are very difficult to move with about a 60% mortality rate. If the tree does survive the move it will often end up with a constricted trunk (skinny section) indicating that the tree was transplanted.
