Some comments saying there was not even a single picture but for me there was a picture almost immediately near the top of the article so not sure why others are not seeing it.

This is a neat story I can only imagine those who have lived there their entire lives and had no idea that this would one day happen. What a amazing treat for them.

I have recently became interested in palm trees. I know a person who immigrated from Slovakia to here in Western Canada many years ago. In her front yard stands a beautiful palm tree probably around 18 or so feet tall. Seeing how we get snow here every year and always associated palm trees with warmer climates I didn’t think they could actually do so well. The couple I came across in the past were very small and the owner stated that he needs to cover them every winter to keep them safe. According to this lady with the big palm she never did that. She said her family member brought seeds from Slovakia years ago and they just started them inside and planted it outside when small and it survived the cold months no protection.

Now I eagerly want to try grow a palm tree myself. Her tree has a few big bunches of seeds hanging on but I have no clue when they are due to fall. And due to this ladies age she forgets exactly when the seeds drop also but that they turn a kind of orangish color first. So I keep watch hoping I will catch some once they fall. It is just a neat looking tree and hers seems to be very hardy I hope I can continue the life of this tree and the memory of this lady by planting my own.

The first image for me was some spam about palm reading
