Hurricane and tropical storm winds knock trees over. I don't know if they do it to try and keep them from getting knocked over or to fix them once they have been. Also, anytime a new palm is planted they have to do that because it doesn't take much to knock them down at that point. Palm's root systems are very shallow.

We went to Castaway Cay after Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne. The palms that they could save were all propped up like that. It was a sad looking place.

:) I always think of it like that Beatles song "...a little help from my friends..." :hug:

When a palm is new or has just been tipped over by a storm, we prop it up with some scaffolding until it sinks new roots to hold itself up. :wizard:

It's kind of like supporting our friends and children, we give them help when they need it and take the supports off when they have the stability they need to stand on their own.

This is lovely. I just made it my background -- we're sailing in just under 12 weeks. You must've been off the ship early.

Thank you! Actually, I took this in the afternoon while walking back to the tram. This is the boat rental beach, and for some reason it was empty.
