I had always thought that the palm tree was my favorite tree, until I recently was told that palm trees are not true trees. Not woody or having a central trunk with branches, palm trees are a member of a plant family called arecacae. There are more than 2,000 varieties of palms, the best known being the date and coconut palms. Wanting to know more, I read that harvesting the heart of palm in some uncultivated varieties of palm trees 
(coconut, palmito, etc.) kills the palm, just asremoving the heart of any living creature would kill it.
Puerto Vallarta is filled with and surrounded by several different kinds of palms, as well many flowering trees that are in their springtime glory. The town and jungles are scattered with powder pink blossoms, bright sun yellow 
blossoms, shy purple blossoms and fiery orange and red blossoms. Bougainvillea blooms all year on bushes, vines and trees in pink, peach, white and fuchsia, the color of México. 
Pets for Life vet team has been in the state of Nayarit this last week and on vacation for Easter. Numbers of sterilizations will be reported once received.
