This is an excellent palm for the Houston area. It was the fastest growing tree in my garden, and one of the nicest to look at.

Many of those Australian Livistona are very hardy to the cold, and take high heat well, too.

I just planted this one here on Saturday and 2 larger ones in the RGV yesterday!  It's been 107 degrees the past 4 days so no problem with the heat!

I've got one in my backyard, right next to the Nude Skydiver Palm (Acrocomia) and it's an easy 20 feet tall.

Yes, it's one acre in a quiet rural area away from all of the high growth but only about 15 minutes away from commercial shopping and probably 20 minutes away from S. Padre.

Man if I was closer I would take one or two.

That would be an awesome Mo-Val palm. Next time you visit I'll show you mine.

Solid zone 9, I can expect at least one night in the mid to low twenties every year.

Hot, dry summers. Cold, wet winters.

Joseph, you're timing it well with the temps down a bit this week!  Barely hitting 90° tomorrow but you will probably see some rain.  BTW, the decora I planted here just started pushing new spears again this past weekend.  :)
