im in new jersey right now, and ive seen several tropical looking plants in peoples yards including around 12 decent sized trunking yucca plants, some banana plants, and even a trachyarpus palm.  are there any good nurseries near new or north brunswick that may sell plants such as these?

Wish I could help, but I'm not familiar with Jersey nurseries. I know of a place on Long Island that has a wide variety of palms and other exotics. Last time I went I saw Trachycarpus, Butia, Chamaerops, Needles, Pygmys, CIDP, Bottles, and other tropical crownshaft palms I can't identify.

Hello, do you mind stating where this nursery is located?

I'd try a trachy in a sheltered site in Washington DC but Jersey seems a stretch.  Needles or Sabal minor could possibly work if in really sheltered spots--courtyard, that sort of thing.  Wyomingites used to grow canna lilies, thanks to the hot low-elevation summers.  Really good growing conditions.  

For mail order, Plant Delights near Raleigh NC has a lot of sorta-tropical plants including yuccas and such.  If South Carolina's Yucca gloriosa has been thriving in England, even Yorkshire, since about 1560 or so, it should do well in Jersey.  You've got great gardens in the area, including possibly the world's best botanical garden, the NYBG (they have great palm expertise, of course).  

Fla. climate center: 100-119 days>85 F

Current USDA hardiness zone 10a
4 km inland from Indian River; 27º N (equivalent to Brisbane)

Central Orlando's urban heat island may be warmer than us

Well, it's Southern New Jersey, but Triple Oaks Nursery has some nice hardy-tropical plants.

It's in Middle Island, NY. I don't know the name of the nursery but it's located on Middle Country Road about a mile west of a Walmart.
