Arbor Day Palms

Arbor Day in Texas is

 the last Friday in April.

Do you know when it is in your state?

If not, go here to find out.

My DH and I already planted several trees

in honor of Arbor Day this Friday.

This palm looks great in our backyard.

It is viewed from our patio

and will be near a future fence

we plan to build one day.

It is the kind of palm

 that grows about 10 ft. tall

and spreads about as wide,

with multiple trunks.

This one is now planted

 near the back corner

of the future fence.

It is a sago palm.

It is called a "palm",

but is actually a "cycad",

one of the oldest plants in the world.

It can live to be hundreds of years old.

We grouped the sago with 2 fan palms.

The fan palms will grow very tall.

I will eventually add many more plants in this area.

It is a sunny area,

away from the mesquite trees,

so hibiscus or oleander

 would do great.

I want something with flowers,

of course.

The area you see between the palms

and the patio is where

my labyrinth will be one day.

All of these palms were part of

our church Palm Sunday/Centennial celebration in March.

 They were being sold afterwards to

whoever wanted some.

 We purchased these 4,

as there were no other takers.

So, now I have a good memory

connected to these trees.

Plant a tree in honor of someone,

or something.

What are you doing for Arbor Day

in your area?

When is Arbor Day where you live?

Would love to hear from you.

There are many ways to...

Savor the Day!
