I have a large front yard with neighbors on both sides that have Queen Palm...just like everyone else in the area!

Anyway. I have room for trees and also want to consider their Palms as part of the overall look.

It is Full Sun most of the day and I prefer low water use once established.. Also as I am bordering our Driveway, I don't want invasive roots.

I am thinking of some smaller flowering and or fruiting trees complimenting the Palms, Like Hong Kong Orchid, Loquat or Native large shrubs like Matilla Poppy, Tree Mallow, Bush Dahlia???

I also need a Large Focal tree in a bed about 15' x 15' That will get approx 25-35 tall to block sun..Deciduous or not. For That I am thinking Golden Trumpet (tabebuia avellanedae or other), Peppermint Willow (agonis flexuosa), Pistacio (pistacia Vera) or Chinese Pistache.

I also have a need for a taller tree with narrow growth habit, so for that area I am thinking of a Fern Pine.

Our house is 2 story, kind of a Medeterranian look stucco (Mostly straight up walls.)

All comments or suggestions are appreciated!
