I grew up in NC (and visited SC often then) so am familiar with lots of the locations posted here. 
 

The antique bed I use in Puerto Rico was purchased by my parents in an antique store in Bluffton more than 50 years ago. 
 

I do recall seeing palms at least in SC on vacation and who knows how that could have influenced me to move to the tropics?


It is great to see documentation of palms in so many non tropical places for the enjoyment of so many.

Thanks!

 

I find it quite enjoyable going on Google Maps and looking for Palms And tropicals

Needle palms are rare in general - unfortunately, seed production & distribution is limited with this species.

Several reasons tbh. First, in Carolina Beach there’s so many other palms worth planting and they do better without salt exposure and in clayish soil. Also they’re much harder to mass produce than Sabal for the nursery trade.

I have no idea. I have never seen this on a washie before either. This was at a plant nursery in Bluffton 

Sometimes when sabal palmettos get hit by lightning (I have seen) they sprout 1 or two new growth points on the sides kinda cool but very very rare.
