After seeing a past, blurry closeup of a palm trunk from the ABQ Zoo, and rumors of Sabal Mexicana there, I had to look for myself yesterday. Their map: https://www.cabq.gov/artsculture/biopark/documents/zoo-map_oct-2024.pdf

.

Palms at the alligator exhibit in the reptile area:

A few of many other palms that looked good at the zoo:

Some of the many Trachycarpus fortunei

That's even a Sabal minor towards the bottom of the last photo. On a long-ago visit to the ABQ zoo, I remember those were very common, a number reproducing.

I was already in town for some holiday activities for a firm that I consult for. So, I had to see some of these cool palms you all post on. Plus, other plants I'm interested in and some old projects. More on that another time, which includes some palms.

A worthwhile trip ~
