If you squint a bit, they sort of look like gigantic soft ice cream cones dotting the landscape in front of Bushnell City Hall.
In actuality, they are 18 Canary Island date palms topping off at about 17 feet high.
The reason the trees may look a bit unusual is because their fronds have remained tied up and bound.
It takes between 21 and 30 days after planting before the binding is removed, said Bushnell City Manager Vince Ruano. During that period, the trees are becoming stabilized to their new environment and roots are beginning to grow.
