One of my non palm friends from Newport Beach was kind enough to send me this... I just thought I would share it since it includes a semi updated photo. I think it looks pretty nice!

That's an excellent article, thanks for posting.

It is still a bold statement though, but I guess if it gets published like that, it is open for competition/argument to the northernmost grown Cocos nucifera.

Happy Gardening

Cheers,

If it ain't the furthest north, it's gotta be a contenda'!

Thanks Kyle for posting it.  (Go ahead, post it you-know-where . . . . )

There might be one other over by the Salton Sea, I guess splitting hairs over the latitude, I THINK the SS is a wee hair further south . . . .

I guess seeing that article made your day, since you have been promoting that coconut palm for so long. I found the article interesting and I'm sure most folks who read it, did too.

I just read an article in the San Francisco Chronicle this weekend about a fruiting mango tree all the way up here in Hayward! For those who don't know, Hayward's about 15 miles south of oakland, California. Maybe even less thatn that. There were even pictures, too!

Oakley, California

55 Miles E-NE of San Francisco, CA

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

Hot, dry summers. Cold, wet winters.

I could imagine that since coastal CA and many southern, coastal Mediterranean areas share a similiar climate, a Cocos must be living somewhere, as even the north coast of Africa is in the low/mid 30s of latitude I believe. I bet somewhere in south Spain along the Guadalquivir river, south of Seville, a Cocos grows.  :cool: That would be 36 degrees of latitude North.

They don't, though.

They really don't.  So-Cal is So-Cal, and No-Afr. is No-A.

NOT the same difference.

Patrick,

I have a small Mango tree that regularly flowers and occasionally fruits. Jeff in Modesto has had good luck with his fruiting mangos as well. There was famous huge one growing in San Jose until the all time record setting freeze of 1990.

Jim in Los Altos, CA  SF Bay Area 37.34N- 122.13W- 190' above sea level

zone 10a/9b

sunset zone 16

300+ palms, 90+ species in the ground

Aren't there coconuts in Bermuda?  At 32-33N that is about as far north as So Cal, and there are probably a lot more of them there too.
