I think palm trees are awesome.
Never has there been a tree more photogenic than the palm tree. Yes, New England is pretty in the fall, and coniferous trees are enchanting when they're covered with snow, and all trees look pretty when they're budding in the spring, but if you're looking for a tree with consistent style and personality, cherry blossoms have nothing on palm fronds.
Palm trees make everything better. They're the perfect trees for sitting in the sun - just enough shade to keep you from overheating, but not so much that you shiver in the shade. Not to mention the added benefits of coconuts.
Be honest, are you more interested in this location with the palm tree?
Or without?
I rest my case.
In conclusion, palm trees are the best, and if you disagree, I will fight you.
Thank you for your time.
