Yup these are palms you can find at Pullen Park (near NC State in Raleigh) and Jaycee Park in Raleigh. I wish they will plant more of these things around the area.

Some more photos. Still many more to come: 

 

Classic windmill palm (Trachycarpus Fortunei) in Angier, NC,  and exurban/suburban community of Raleigh. Posted these in the group before. Will take more pics later of this palm.

Sago palms in Garner, I took these last spring!

Another pic of a Sabal I posted in the first post of this thread. Took this last spring as well. This house is in Raleigh near Juniper Level Botanical Garden (Plant Delights)

I got various photos below of this property I drive by often on the job, in Harnett County. (also in Angier).  I took them driving by. Spoke to the neighbor, he wonders how these people keep these plants alive because he feels this part of NC is too cold in the winter to support them (this part of NC is clearly hardy for these palms).  I may do a separate thread with these photos of this yard later, not sure. These photos are from 2 separate days obviously:

Have you used Google Street View, and its timeline photos, to determine how long some of these palms have been growing? It would be great to know if these palms were planted before or after 2018. I'm assuming most of the palmettos were planted before 2018 but I could be wrong.

Is that a Birmingham in the 5th from the top picture  ? 

Flowering Palmettos are nice and showy .

One of those Trachys looks  like it  could be growing in California . Very impressive .

I almost forgot to mention those Cycads that are in a great microclimate under the eave of the house .

Can't remember the exact street the Sago's were on...
