Spotted a trunking, outdoor Spindle Palm / Hyophorbe verschaffeltii in Jacksonville Beach!!!

I was on a walk today and found this gem hiding next to a hotel. Excellent microchip late (canopy, concrete, beach nearby). Gorgeous white crownshaft!

On 1st St N left of the Best Western and right of the PPR office.

In the winter of 2018 that palm received some cold damage when we had two cold events in January. Other than that it has always looked pretty good. It's holding more leaves now than I've ever seen.  Beautiful!

Great find! Perhaps bodes well for @shminbabe in her microclimate just up the road. She’s growing spindles too.

I'll have to check it out the next time I stumble home from Hoptinger
