Here are probably the rarest palms growing at Leu Gardens. They survived Hurricane Irma and all the falling branches and debris. I was afraid they might have ended up buried or smashed.

I forget whose Facebook comment it was about Tahina in Florida, but Tahina seems to remain wind resistant as it grows upward.
