Washingtonia spotted in zone 8b Evans,GA

Saw a very nice one today in the colder than typically permitted zone of 8b. Very impressive.

Proof once again, it's not so much the "zone" but the climate.

That's a nice hefty specimen!

indeed and it seems like it survived snow throughout the years as well since we have had some snowy occurances in the past 15 years

Has it? I don't recall snow down on the fall line for a long time.

it snowed a very tiny bit where it was minorly visible on surfaces two years ago but there was a big snowfall where everyone lost their power for a day or two with like 6 inches of snow here in 2013 or 2014 I can’t remember exactly and and another stow storm in 2011. I suppose this one could’ve been planted after that but I really have no idea.
