Texas Palms

As far as height, these are tallest robustas I’ve seen in SA. Hopefully someone in here can prove me wrong

I think @Ben G. Identified a bigger mass planting yesterday in his post, however those are tall robustas nonetheless. 

Those are hybrids. Though I wish they do more mass plantings since none of the winters we've had past 2021 were in Robusta death range. The lowest it's gotten since 2021 was 16F there in December 2022. All of the new Robustas installed or planted from seed were fine though fried after that.

Here’s some more from around town. First pic isn’t great a few are hidden

Is this one of the best palmy neighborhoods in SA? There's a big lining of Filifera, Filibusta, and actual tall Robusta. I never thought there would be this many still standing. From what I've ever seen. This may have the most Robusta standing in a single area outside of the River Walk from what I know so far.

 

 

 

Not the only neighborhood but it looks very impressive. Check out Monte Vista , Woodlawn Ave.  Last time I went there I've noticed new plantings of Sabal Mexicana between old Washingtonia Filiferas. My guess is,  they're eventually going to be removed in the near future due to age. We shall see.

Woodlawn avenue is like something out of California. If you start right on the eastern side next to the intersection with mccullough and head west a few miles it seems like they are in constant sight.

I would really love some mass plantings of Dactylifera in SA. I have yet to see ANY new ones here. They'd do just fine here.
