More pics I saw recently on Facebook of palms here in the SE Tennessee area. Looks like I got no excuses now not to be trying a palmetto!

I saw those too. I take it you wouldn't mind me sharing the other palmetto picture I asked you about down below?

No, not at all. Share away.
I should have got permission for these I guess. But they aren’t mine and I don’t claim them. Just wanted to share with the folks here that I don’t see on Facebook.

Hi Sam!

Good to see you still posting!

In my part of the country, it's so amazing what is possible just 200 miles south of me. There (Virginia Beach), there are Palmettos, Butias, Serenoas, Med Fans, the isolated Washy or two, Live Oaks, and the northernmost population of Spanish Moss. Where I live, half of those plants aren't possible without serious protection schemes. And the other half are "tryable" as experiments in a hidden back yard or test plot where fatalities aren't such an eyesore.

Just 200 little miles...

Hi Jim,

200 miles does make a difference. I’m about 120 miles statute from Atlanta and we see what’s going on there, but they have the UHI. Nevertheless, this area seems to be gaining a bit and is almost reflecting an 8a type ability to grow palms. I’m wondering though if we crash back to reality though this winter? At least I have escaped further South these days. I started some new palms here this past year. I’ll have to post soon but I’m still going to try to add more next year. A few sabal minors, a needle, and two Nainitals so far are in. I may add a palmetto though. If I can get one big enough to start with!

I think I’ll post some pictures before too long. Good to see you on others too.
