Awesome pictures. That Oncosperma tigillarium is a wonder!

Next time I'm in FL I have to go to Fairchild.

Kyle, you gotta take a pic of the C. fallense with someone standing underneath for scale. People don't realize they're twice the size of a silver Bizzie!!

This is a good idea. However, I was just at Fairchild yesterday admiring their C. fallaensis and I can say without hesitation that I have seen larger bismarckias here in south Florida. I posted a couple photos that I took yesterday on another thread in case you might be interested (no overall shot, though):

As promised... this palm is large! And it is not the largest that I have seen here.

I think there's a Rhapidophyllum around somewhere. Up here in the frigid north, Trachys have a reputation for reaching maybe 6 feet, then expiring.

Fla. climate center: 100-119 days>85 F
USDA 1990 hardiness zone 9B
Current USDA hardiness zone 10a
4 km inland from Indian River; 27º N (equivalent to Brisbane)

Central Orlando's urban heat island may be warmer than us
