JackLord,
There's a heck of a lot more maintenance/cleanup under a Sycamore tree than a palm.
Typical of government to not think of that...our gov't anyway.Barb
I think that is the point. A Sycamore has branches and leaves that provide shade and cool temps. And it drops leaves which form topsoil. A palm does not do much of either.
Or so they say.... 😕

OK I get it.
Our municipality's maintenance workers spend a month "power blowing" fallen leaves from sidewalks and playgrounds, removing them to the compost pile at the dump. Lest someone slip and fall on moldy leaves in the park 😕 i.e. liability.

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.
