Palms for New Orleans (9a/9b)

WOW! You must have had zero frosts this past winter. Most of those tropical palms will brown from frost settling on the fronds.

Thats my 2 Beccariophoenix. Neither looks as good as your palms. I'm amazed at how green your tropical palms are in New Orleans.

That archontophoenix would probably do better in the ground, although it will grow pretty fast. Once it get so big you wont be able to protect when you need to, then you have a dead palm. Would probably go with a Mule palm for an in ground palm, they look sort of coconuty. If you want something common do a Queen or two, but again they are common and are messy when they get big. Otherwise you might be better off keeping some potted tropicals, like Hyophorbe lagenicaulis, Adonidia merrillii, Ravenea rivularis, the list goes on.

Put the Ravenea in ground, both very common in stores, and marginally hardy enough to survive between bigger freezes, and uncommon in planting.  Plant a few, and in a few years they will look fantastic

Given the polar vorteces of these past two winters, I'm curious how things have fared. How much did Lake Pontchartrain moderate temps to the immediate south?
