This was great. We own a windmill palm and considered it to be almost the only option we had here in Chatham County NC but you’ve opened up a bunch of options. Now just where to find them! Would love a video on care tips in depth. Will dig around your other vids!
Just happy to meet a palm lover. Just like you too sir!! Am fascinated with the appearance of palms. My top five Bismarck Bottle Firtuni American Erica
Very interesting video. I live in Ireland, not sure what zone we're in but we're very far north and thanks to the gulf stream we can grow some palms. I personally have in my very small garden a trachycarpus fortunei, butia capitata, champeros humulus and a huge phoenix caneriensis!
The USDA Hardiness Zones are determined by taking the lowest temperature every year for the past 30 years, finding the average of those numbers, and then matching it with the predetermined temperature ranges for each zone. If you can get the historical low temperatures for your area, you can calculate your zone using the temperature ranges listed on this map as your guide: planthardiness.ars.usda.gov
Great video. As for really small hardy palms there is Camaedorea Radicalis and Microspadix. Would be cool If anyone tried Brahea Brandegeei in the east. That Brahea can take a lot of rain and is the fastest growing one.
Thank you for your informative videos. I like your use of binomial names and teaching us the meanings. I will go visit the arboretum in November. Looking forward to seeing the some of the plants you talk about!
I’m in zone 8b 9a in PNW but the problem is we have really wet cool winters which a lot of the palms don’t like. I know some people who can grow Washingtonian palms in colder zones than me like zone 7b since they are in a dryer area
I have sabal minor in zone 6A far southwestern Virginia 2400feet elevation for 15 years now unprotected. It's lost everything leaf wise but always returns. For the past 2 years it's given me seed but my stupid ass somehow lost them after cutting them to plant lol. I also have 3 needle palm I did protect them one of which has gotten massive. I hope that the global warming madness will allow me a windmill palm eventually considering I've tried 3 I'm not holding my breathe. What's crazy is I can grow 2 types of palm but I can not grow acuba japonica and certain cultivars of a. palmatums. Whoa there's a variegated needle palm gotta have it!!!!
Anyone know if The Trachycarpus Fortunei could survive in reasonably protected part of my yard in zone 7b Cape Cod?? It is very far North so I know the daylight, wet winters and all that might be an issue but thinking of trying it... With the right location and protection who knows?
Wow I can't believe that! I wonder why you never see them here. I mean it's fine if you have to replant them every 5-8 years when we get those cold snaps but it's pretty temperate here on the cape so it should be able to grow. Thanks for letting me know varieties!!!@@jcraulstonarb
Zac, this lecture was about palms that are hardy in our area (zone 7b). Mark included some other palms that are a bit less hardy than required to survive our winters and some that are possibly worth trying. Tony Avent at Plant Delights Nursery mentioned in an article about hardy palms the following - "Try as I might, I have never been able to get this to survive winters in our Raleigh garden."
There are indeed a few selections of Washingtonia (filifera, robusta and f x r hybrids) that have some cold tolerance and winter moisture tolerance and can be grown in the piedmont or coastal plain of North Carolina.
@@jcraulstonarbPalmsrkool grew Robustas and CIDPs up in Charlotte, NC. They grew fine for many years until all the robustas got wiped out by the 13 degree cold blast. The CIDPs that just had some tarps covering them survived. I think If you can help a CIPD for a few years it would be hardy there permanently seeing as the small ones with just a tarp survived fine. One honarable mention I forgot is Thrinax Campestris. Basically south Americas answer to Chamerops Humilis.
Looking forward to the cycad video!
I'll remind Mark that he promised a Midweek with Mark about cycads.
Can’t wait

Very nice
14:15 Princeps be grown in 7A? That has to be a very dry 7A if possible, perhaps parts of Santa fe and Albuquerque area
This video is phenomenal!
Yay! Palms are the topic i’ve been waiting for you guys to talk about! Thank you! They are my absolute favorite plants of all time.
Our pleasure!
Totally agree
Just happy to meet a palm lover. Just like you too sir!!

I grow sabal minor, sabal brazoriensis, and needle palm unprotected here in Cincinnati zone 6b!
How much hardy Brazorian?
Hello, just stumbled onto this video. But, growing Windmill, needle, and sable palmetto in Youngstown Oh for years now.. Best of luck.
Seriously??? Like in the ground (with protection)?! @@chrisprusha1174

Sabal minor's grow well here in Southern Ontario, Canada with very minor protection (frost cloth)

November is a great time to visit. There will be much to see then.
Great info much appreciated

Best wishes for a speedy recovery (MMA advice- do not block with face)

Yes. There are varieties of Trachycarpus fortunei that do fine in 7b. Try 'Wagnerianus', 'Bulgaria;, 'Norfolk', or 'Taylor's Hardy'.

Gotta ask, what about Washingtonias!
