highly zoomed pic of a wild fan palm taken from my back deck playing with my (mum's) new camera, handheld at like 40x or so there are more palms growing along the river bank which is epic, will need to go for a walk one of these days...  |

Some palms here aren't looking too great right now.  Looks like these have handled the cold pretty well.  |

 One of my pics from Florida. Apparently these were fallen/leaned by Hurricane Charley and then purchased by Universal Studios for the wacky look in their Dr. Suess section. |

A stand of palm trees with a developing thunderstorm in the background:  Palm trees weren't the main focus in this pic, but I find the palm trees with the nice backdrop really pretty:  Palm trees in an unusually chilly October sunset, temperature was around 60 F (16 C) at the moment and dropped to 50 F (10 C) overnight:  |

Dates the pics were taken were August 15th, July 20th and October 30th, respectively.

 Some palm trees right outside my house on a beautiful, cool winter day. Was about 51 F (11 C) at nearly noon when I took this. Pic was taken on January 5th of this year (about three weeks ago). |

Nice picture  although what are these palms that are occurring in your photos, they're pretty ugly looking |

^ Those are cabbage palms I believe. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabal_palmettoHardier than coconuts, due to the fact that we're a good deal inland, we have more of that variety out here than on the coast. The coast has more coconuts. Still a good deal of coconuts out here though. |

They fruit reliably from the second year, and are in season from about mid autumn until late spring. These are just the last few -here's a better photo.  Joe, I always thought even 32F kills them. I didn't think your area was frost free. |

I didn't think your area was frost free. They would see many nights below freezing. And have no damage at -3C, along as there is no frost on the plant - that doesn't happen due to the morning katabatic wind. |

Wow never knew that I thought they were uber tropical from Hawaii or something. Didn't know they could take down into the 20sF. They would die here in early December lol. |

I would love to try a Sabal Palmetto in Vancouver... we just don't get enough heat here.

I have a shitton of palm tree photos from my stay on the Riviera. I feel like spamming, so will use spoiler tags. Beware! They have all sorts of palms there. |

Not sure that there's much point to the warm water in summer - cold water poured into the soil in summer, will soon be warm water |

They're from central/south America. These are the mountain species. The tropical species are still relatively hardy, and I have seen them around here, but they only sporadically fruit in the very warmest parts of NZ. |

It looks like a jubaea.
CIDPs have much larger fronds.
