Jekyll island palm finds

[Robbertico18]

Just wanted to share some pics of palms from my recent trip to Jekyll island 

cool date palm 

really tall sago

Queen palm with a nice blue pindo with even taller queen palms in the background 

best pic I could snap of the background queens without trespassing 

I think this is a CIDP but I’m not 100%, also these clustering fan palms are pretty cool 

pygmy date palms?

mule palm in need of some love

wasnt sure if this was just a butia or a mule palm, the trunk looks a little skinny to me but what y’all think?

Last but not least this slender fan palm is nice and seems like it could be tucked into a small place I have at my home garden but I’m not sure what it is. 
 

anywho hope everyone’s having a good weekend

Great shots, I love how the palms and cycads mix in so well with the native landscape.

The bottom one is a Washingtonia wishing it had more sun.

Ahh, I need to get better at IDing fan palms

Good pictures, but no big surprises. I’ve often wondered if majesties or bismarkia might be viable in the Golden Isles.

By the way, did you visit the Jekyll Island Club? 

[Robbertico18]

I did not visit the Jekyll island club, I did however get majesty palms to survive three winters up here in Savannah. But they were slower to bounce back each spring

I was thinking Washingtonia wishing it was a Trachycarpus lol

 

What's the zone down there? Like an 8B or something? Just guessing.

Georgia’s southern sea islands are a strong 9A maybe 9B 

[Robbertico18]

Yeah I think they are borderline 9B

If I lived there, and witnessed queens in that area looking so robust…I would definitely plant a Bizmarck.
South Georgia really loves the live oak in the landscape w/ some Spanish moss, which takes up a lot of sun from the plants below.. Not to mention the roots don’t allow much to grow beneath either. Def a zone 9a maybe 9b some winters.
