These are in San Mateo east of 101.  These are in groups of 4, 5, or 6, with some smaller volunteers.  I think this is the most "tropical" front yard that I have seen in northern California.

Wow, this is close to where I used to live. I wish I knew it was there. Unfortunately they look burnt with our recent cold weather. Got down to 28 at my house. A lot of my young stuff I planted over the summer is struggling right now.

I used King palms by the dozens in my Northern CA garden to create canopy. I like the fact that they are low maintenance as well.

OK, I should have written, "second most tropical front yard that I have seen in northern California".

Ha ha. But seriously, there are several super awesome tropical gardens in NorCal.
