Yes - a very popular landscape plant here in Florida.
I tried to use them on almost every job I did - even if just one of them - maybe in a corner in the backyard but especially to help screen out unwanted views.
Here are some nice fat ones I scored for this project to use along the back property line to screen out the stuff behind the fence.
(install all trees/palms first.....then do the irrigation. Used mostly rotary spray nozzles for this job)
(the 3 little palms to the right in a triangular pattern - 2 along the fence & 1 on the patio corner - are Piccabeen Palms - native to Australia
)
(this is what we started with in front. The pergola was my idea)
(small 3 plant set of Red Fountain Grass lower left)
(Rainbird drip irrigation in all beds)
