So I took my dog to the park this morning and saw this. I'm amazed how long this Sabal palmetto has been able to thrive on this tree. It must have about 8-10 feet of trunk. There is no telling how many hurricanes it has been through.

At first look, it appears to be a photo-shop image. You're right ... Crazy!

Just found this one on my morning walk today. This Washingtonia isn't big, but has to be at least a year or two old surviving on minimal moisture in another tree in Arizona.

That's pretty neat, what kind of tree is that?
 

I've seen a ton of sabal seedlings growing in trees around here about that size, but never thought I would see a mature palm enjoying life on a tree. lol

and it's regularly attended to by removing old dead fronds.

It's a really beautiful park with an amazing history. The land itself was man made in the early 1900s from reclaiming lake bed so anything that exist there is no older than about 110 years. It's actually one of the few places in New Orleans that is several feet above sea level now. Walk just a few blocks away and it drops down to about 20 feet below sea level. If y'all are ever in New Orleans it is worth a quick drive out to the lake front.
