I was in Norfolk, VA a few days ago and thought I would share. Honestly the amount of palms they have here is impressive.  This is USDA Zone 8b

It’s a nice area. The palms planted on the main tourist drag right near the ocean often look bad but they look better in Norfolk and inland VA beach.

Im typically not a fan of the plastic wrapping but I love seeing that Washingtonia and the Serenoa repens clump! 

Also theres a CIDP! I love seeing more unique palms planted in NC and VA. And they look like theyve been in the ground for years

Same I'm not a big fan of rapping palms in plastic he probably doesn't even need to protect most of them over there unless there's a pretty bad freeze but most of the years in Virginia Beach they should be okay Without any protection
