Kurt, Russ is right about the palmetto. I wouldn't worry much about palm trees. The only place they grew on their own was on the beach. Some homeowners and business' planted them on their property of course, but a lot of those were not native types. The palmetto is not a tree it is a bush that mainly grows in thick thickets or bunches. Also look at the trees on Lance's layout, I didn't notice any incorrect ones ( did his research well ). The only native trees were some palms, live oaks, a couple types of cypress and slash pines for the most part. There are sea grape trees (a big bush really) on the beaches as well. By the 50's Austrailan pines and Melaluka (spl?) were imported and started to take over in some places.
