South Hilton Head Island, Zone 9a

So at Hilton Head Island (south side of the island) I saw MANY zone 9a palms, but not on the north side, I think the south side is truly 9a. Let me show you a map I made, the blue area is where I saw most of the 9a palms. Also a lot of palms that like warmer areas of 8b. (The picture that looks like there is no palms has Medjool Date Palms in it, sorry for the bad picture I was in the car.) I saw Queen Palms from time to time as well and Phoenix roebelenii.

    I heard there have been massive public plantings of Phoenix Dactylifera in and around Hilton Head. Although Dactyliferas can be considered an 8B palm. Not surprising to see queens. I wonder why we don't see more of them along the SC coast? Like Charleston for instance, most of their downtown is 9A but I have yet to see any Queens in that area. Thanks for the pics!

    I don't doubt that a good portion of Hilton Head Island is a solid zone 9.  Heck, I think there are areas of the southern NC Outer Banks that are technically 9a, though with very chilly winters for any zone 9 area.  That queen palm looks good.  Phoenix roebelenii used to get fried almost every winter in the Orlando area.  Not anymore.  Should be interesting to see how they do in warmer parts of Hilton Head.
