there are are a lot of older specimens here that have gone through some cold temps in the past. had 20 minutes to kill so took some photos of the most unusual/oldest. there are many more around campus.

most of these phoenix look like a hybrid, not 100% canariensis. They have relatively thinner trunks.

butia nearly as tall.

The palms back of the tallest one look interesting.  Both Sabal, I guess.

dave,

regarding the palms behind the tall sago...

the one on the left is sabal palmetto (lots of those planted here also)

the one on the right is a butia.

Ray, did you go to FSU "back in the day?"

very cool Ray, so your a seminole. :)

there seems to be hardly any new plantings around campus as far as palms go. hope they keep it up

if any of these phoneix set seed, I want to collect some as the palms have proven quite cold tolerant.

Dang, some of those palms are crazy!  It's like you're walking around the corner and all of a sudden a palm w/ a crooked trunk and a gangsta lean pops out scratchin' his beard and twitchin' his head sayin', "Eh, brothah, let me bum a square......got any spare change :o "
