Potenial Palms for Eastern NC and Tidewater VA

[NC_Palms]

I have been working on a list of potential palm for the eastern regions of NC and VA. Many of these palms are underutilized, yet are hardy for either North Carolina or Virginia.

Also, it is important to add that many of the palms provided probably can be grown in a zone cooler if sheltered in a warm microclimate. I hope y'all find this useful in a way.
