Sabal palmetto in Connecticut

Well my freind sent me this picture of 2 healthy booted Sabal palmetto palms in Madison Connecticut. Planted outside a marina.  These don’t look like they have pots inside them unlike the queens I saw in Waterford ct. I wonder if the owners think they are hardy enough

Wouldn’t be shocked if they survived a mild winter, although with damage.

I read somewhere that multiple Sabal palmettos survived in NYC (Staten Island I believe) for a few years before perishing, but this was decades ago (60’s I think).

They are relatively cheap that size in Florida. If they have a source for a piggy back delivery, its very doable to keep replacing. They definitely draw attention to the signage.

The ones in VA beach that have been there for many years all survived, and this was a really tough winter for them.

Those are rentals and brought in during the winter, unlike my Sabal in bridgeport, which is outside since 2009
