This one is pre 2010. No damage from this winter.

The beach in Daytona is zone 9B. That is amazing!  I wonder if there are more pre-2010 cocos around.

5 year high 42.2C/108F (07/06/2018)--5 year low 4.6C/40.3F (1/19/2023)--Lowest recent/current winter: 4.6C/40.3F (1/19/2023)

I think there is one more a little north at a hotel on the ocean facing south . The intracoastal is at its widest point in the shores. I think it saves us when the NW winds blow

You're sure it is pre-2010? If so that may be the most northern survivor in Florida. Based on its size it certainly does look more than 7 yrs old.

That is just amazing, do the fruits survive the winter without dropping then? What a champion coconut, it looks nice even!

Interesting...

I used Google Maps , and when you start up Dahlia , going east towards A1A , it shows a 2016 picture in the ground , but a click or so further up the road , and they revert to 2007 pics.    It was in a pot at that time .

2007 ;    https://www.google.com/maps/@29.1473009,-80.9679267,3a,58.3y,25.34h,88.15t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sbcQdhyI6UnwzlQSV7TEpWg!2e0!7i3328!8i1664

 

2016 :

https://www.google.com/maps/@29.1473009,-80.9679267,3a,58.3y,25.34h,88.15t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sbcQdhyI6UnwzlQSV7TEpWg!2e0!7i3328!8i1664

 

Wonder when it went into the ground ? They must have done some drastic protection during 2010 ,or taken it in ??

I talked to the guy that owns the house. He planted the tree in 2008. He got the seed from Fort Lauderdale.

That's really impressive it could survive there. I checked the map and it is right in the of the peninsula. We've had pictures on here of some nice looking coconuts immediately on the water in NSB that died in 2010 so I don't know how this one made it.  Perhaps the width of the river there makes DB Shores warmer than NSB.

Awesome coconut, way to go Daytona! I've read elsewhere that a fair amount of coconuts died on Merritt Island in 2010, notably warmer than Daytona. 

Corpus Christi, TX, near salt water, zone 9b/10a! Except when it isn't and everything gets nuked.

I'm sure it's only a matter of time before she's toast. But it's good to see an area in the 80's where Queens were marginal thriving w 10a stuff.

Looks good. Taken this afternoon. 

It had fruit on it. (Hard to tell in photo as it was mostly on the south and west side of palm)

Thanks @NickJames, I thought that one died in 2018. Glad to see it’s alive and fruiting. :greenthumb:

Yes I meant to post a picture of it. It recovered well and is doing good for a relatively cool winter. It hasn’t froze east of US1 yet

Meanwhile west of 95, my D. Lutescens lost so much foliage I can see my neighbor again. Lol.

Gorgeous Coconut Palm for that far north in Florida!!!  I wish ours in the Corpus Christi area could look that good.  At this point with the HORRIBLE Arctic Front here, I am just hoping any of ours survive now!!!

It has to be a Jamaican Tall to look that good and be that tall that far north.

Sure looks like it: slim trunk and understandibly, the local weather does not allow it to maintain its full crown.

A Green Malayan wouldn't look that good, and would only max out at about 1/2 to 2/3 that height there.

Very impressive for being so far north!  I hope we never get another crazy cold snap that takes it out.  We have been fairly lucky since 2010/ 11
