PERSONAL THOUGHTS ON THIS PLANT:
Palmettos will grow wild in some forested areas outside Houston. They definitely have a wild, tropical type of look and are awesome by the pool or filling in larger areas. Some settings I have seen Palmettos really stand out are in a border like planting along the edge of a building. No one would get too close to windows and under a large slide at a community pool. Also discouraging anyone from walking in this area.
