Today I stumbled across these two old windmills at St. Pius Catholic Church in Greensboro:

I also found a dozen or so more growing down the street at an apartment complex:

This one had a nice curve to it’s trunk:

Very nice palms.  I have never search around Greensboro looking for palms.

There are more than I assumed there would be. Tons of windmills and Sabal minors, and I’ve even found a fitness center that recently installed some palmettos and butias. It will be interesting to see how they do. Hopefully these next couple of winters will be mild while they’re establishing themselves

A friend of mine is a landscaper and he has been planting sabals and butias everywhere as well.  He even did a bunch of bizzy for a nascar guy.:floor:
