Established Washingtonia in North Carolina

Found this established washy on google maps growing in Shallotte, NC. Is it filibusta or pure robusta? I'm still not very good at differing between the two when they're this size.  Anyway, streetview is from 2013,  wonder what it looks like today, or if it even survived this long.

Here's a better view:

Just down the street someone has two criss crossed sabals planted which I thought was interesting, also wish I could see what they look like now.

Here's the link if anyone else wants to look around at the local specimens:

Looks like an older robusta (I think) in downtown Shallotte that finally bit the dust:

Neither one of those washys are alive unfortunately. The one on Mintz looks to have died some time between 2013-14, and the one on Bluff dr. in 2013. I can tell from the satellite images in Google Earth. But there is an established washy that looks to still be alive in Fayetteville.

Oh wow, that Fayetteville one looks awesome. That's a filibusta right? As for the other ones, I wonder if it was the humidity or cold that killed them?

Looks like a pretty big washy growing back there behind the two smaller ones, wonder if it's still alive- can't really tell from satellite:

Nice finds!  i don't like the crossed palmettos.  A curved trunk maybe but not that.

Yeah I’m not too fond of them either, but I’d certainly like to see what they look like now

Theres a surprising amount of larger Filibusta on Ocracoke. 

These I found on the old 2007 streetview and looked up the adresses and found they were still around.

I’ll be in Emerald Isle in July, I’ll make sure to drive by and see if it’s still alive. I’ll also take some pictures of any out of the ordinary palms I see while there and post them here.

Wow those look awesome. I remember seeing that last one on a previous post. Check out this one way far inland in Fayetteville, NC:

Possibly humidity? Then again that shouldn't be as big of an issue for a filibusta. This years winter was great, even for me in the western piedmont it was a 9a, much better than that 17-18 one you mentioned. Hopefully we don't have another bad one like that for a good long while.

There is a robusta in my neighborhood that has survived a few years.  I don't want to take a pic without the owner's permission though.  Hopefully mine gets some size next year.

I don't see why you can't take a picture as long as it doesn't have their home address or pictures of the home owners in it.

Good idea. You never quite know how folks will react.
