We sure got those useless things here in South Texas. I recall growing up in So. Cal and they were everywhere, they were planted as windbreaks for the groves. Same was true here too, but as the groves vanish the palms stay. In the picture below, you can see a group of about 7 or 8 tall palms that are growing along the roadway in front of our place. They are much taller than the power lines, and the shorter of the trees catch fire now and then but it never hurts them. I would guess the tallest ones are about 40 foot tall. The fronds will drop and hit the powerline and ignite, usually burning the one frond and falling to the ground (the burn really fast). The reason I don't like them, they drop seed pods this time of year and then start growing new palms everywhere you don't want them. They also drop the fronds in the wind, you don't dare leave a vehicle near a palm tree. And have you ever seen the shade a palm tree produces? None. Other than that, the folks from up north are always intrigued by them since they won't survive up there.
