I saw this palm when I was driving in Monroe N.C. today. It has been left without care for many years as there is hardly a clean frond boot on it. It just goes to show how tough butias are. This one with no care or protection and certainly no microclimate has survived for many years (BTW Monroe N.C. is a zone 7b-8a). I will have to keep my eye on this one because they are doing construction and they have already bulldozed a small grove of trees next to it.

If this ugly old palm is in their way I would gladly take it off their hands!

It was taken care of at one point because there is old weed-block fabric around it.

It's possible that people in a house about 100 yards to the right may own it, but it is unlikely and this is a neighborhood where you don't go up and knock on the door with out a bullet proof vest.

Hit up those construction guys! Now all you need is The Hulk to get it into the back of your truck! You have made the garden gnome extremely happy with your find!

I see you call yourself 'Polar Palm Trees.'

You're really into this Global Warming thing, eh? :D

Well, I own a palm tree nursery named Polar Palm Trees.

It is named that because I live in an area where palms will certianly grow but the locals don't believe that. So I sell cold hardy palms. I thought the name Polar Palm Trees would be a good name to help convince people of their hardiness.

As far as global warming is concerned there is not enough evidence to support either side so I  try not to concern myself with it.

Yep, that is a clever name for your location. Best of luck to you!

In Florida, many county property appraisers' websites make it easy to figure out who owns a tract.  If that service isn't available, you could go to the appraiser's office, or check one of those atlases that provide the info in paper form.  

That's a beautiful specimen.

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

Great sight (eehheemm, that is: site) opener... :cool:

Lemme know when insight (eehheemm, that is: inside) is open for business.

Be Good,

Ronnie

I can hear the cry

of the leaf on a tree,

as it falls to the ground

I can hear the call

of an echoing voice,

and there's no one around
