As a Californian, don’t do it, palms suck. Most of them have very sharp, dangerous thorns, and they don’t provide much environmental benefits compared to a normal tree.
Most palms do not have thorns. This is the first time I have ever heard this claim. There is 2,600 known species.
But yes they are not shade trees.
Well the common ones in California do. I assume they would plant similar species as only a few are hardy to frosts.
Just make sure to avoid Phoenix palms. That’s the most common one in my area and they have like 6 inch spines that can cause serious injuries. They’re also quite weedy.
