palm-tree stump variations












See image 'Popped' trunk portion of palm-tree yet alive and rooting from its crown afar from its stump.

As previously reported elsewhere, palm trees have been known to 'pop' off their bases. The 'popped' palm shown in the accompanying image is located nearby a major A1A roadway here in Stuart, FL, and was also a hurricanes (2004) casualty with tree swept away into a neighboring scrub-brush area. The 'popped' palm-tree stumps have an interior depression that can hold rainwater or environmental debris.

Another image shows a cut palm-tree stump from a tree that began to blacken and die following low-temperature change time-period last year.
