Types of palm growing in Russia

[Igor_Kii]

I noticed the surprise of some people who have seen the foto of palm trees from Russia.

A small tour of what kinds of palms are growing in Russia

Trachycarpus fortune -  Grows and gives a rich self-sowing. Along the coastline from Tuapse to Adler

 

Chamaerops Humilis - Grows and gives a rich self-sowing. Along the coastline from Tuapse to Adler.

 

Sabal minor - Grows  along the coastline from Tuapse to Adler. Very rare

 

Sabal palmetto  - Grows  along the coastline from  Lazarevskoe  to Adler.

 

Rhapidophyllum hystrix -  Grows  along the coastline from  Tuapse to Adler. Annually flowers but does not bring fruit. This type of palm is very rare.

 

Butia  - Grows  along the coastline from Lazarevskoe to Adler.

 

Jubaea chilensis - Grows  along the coastline from Lazarevskoe to Adler.

 

Brahea armata - Grows  along the coastline from Lazarevskoe to Adler.

Washingtonia filifera and robusta - Grows  along the coastline from Lazarevskoe to Adler.

 

Phoenix canariensis - Grows  along the coastline from  Lazarevskoe  to Adler.

Syagrus romanzoffiana  - Palm trees of this kind is completely killed by frost in 1954

You can find palm hybrids. for example
Butia X jubaea

Somebody trying to find seeds fallen on the ground there 

[Igor_Kii]

This is my friend from Rostov. He is a lover of hybrid palms

[Sanips]

Have you seeds from that hybrid too?

[Igor_Kii]

I can tell you 15 March

I am guessing you have a zone 8a/b weather. palms are looking amazing despite the cold.

Has to be warmer than that for Robusta to be that tall and CIDP to look that healthy.

Looking at this site their January averages look to be 8A/8B indeed.

14f for the monthly low

14f is absolute minimum. The lowest temperature ever recorded in January.

USDA zones are average of the absolute minimums in 30 years span.

14f apsolute minimum does not mean USDA 8 zone if the average of the absolute minimums is higher. Robustas can not survive in USDA 8a. And CIDP would look like crap even in USDA 8b.

I agree with Cikas, I live in 8a/8b and our absolute low for Dallas is 2 degrees back in the late 1800's.  Orlando hit 16F in the 1980's and they are a solid 9B, perhaps 10A downtown.  Robustas won't survive long term in 8A even in microclimates and will only obtain that height in a 9A+, especially with that amount of winter precipitation. Anyone who disagrees can look at the Robusta carnage that is repeated every decade in Dallas/Fort Worth, or St. George Utah.

[NorCalKing]

It was really hard to find any documented winter averages. I'm in a 9B area and our Robusta's are 80+ ft. So I'm assuming they are slightly cooler based on the height and stoutness of their trunk base.

These are in San Jose around 20 miles from me. (Was too lazy to take pics of the ones on the street lol)

Any of you guys can point me any Robusta in his pictures?

I think that the trunking Sabal may be Sabal bermudana.  Looks like a pretty great growing spot.

"Sochi is situated on the same latitude as Nice but strong cold winds from Asia make winters less warm. In fact, temperatures drop below freezing every winter for one or two days"

I don't know if this statement is accurate but I do know that on average downtown Houston drops below freezing more than 1-2 days per winter...

Beautiful!

wow who would have thought - looks more like Los Angeles than Russia !
