Ocean city may have come to their senses!

Well first one I have seen in Ocean city proper. Going to keep and eye out for it every year and see how it does. Its right up next to the building facing south so should have an ideal setting. Might help it out with some ninja fertilizer treatments given OCs record of not giving a damn about plants.

That size of pindo surely isn't going to make it through this winter. They need to get twice that size to be 100% zone 8 hardy.

Yeah ill still keep an eye out for it. Some of the queens (maybe 5%) have green and about the same amount of pygmy dates do too but they will all surely die as 99.9% do here.

 

There is a pindo much like @Laaz posted in the "dwarf" thread near my house in a colder area than oc thats got some decent size and its doing well. Still need to talk to the people who own the nursery to get a good look at it.

 

But the trachycarpus makes me very happy and I hope they catch on so the. The streets could be lined with them!

They def wont make it.  OC, MD is a zone 7B, not 8A.   Pindos in OC, MD are a stretch as are anything other than windmills, Sabal Minor, or needles.
