We had an ice storm (very devastating, really damaged Augusta National trees), a snow storm, and record cold. I remember standing outside reporting for the local FOX affiliate and my mouth could barely move. I believe it got down to 12 or 15, something crazy. 12-15 is exactly average for Augusta The 30 year average low is zone 8a or 10-15F. Admittedly, most of the SE has been warmer than that recently, but that is the average. It's not crazy cold for there.

I love palmettos, but that’s really all you’ll really see. There’s a big CIDP at an intersection west of Panama City beach on front beach road. Pier Park the outdoor mall has some different species, but honestly pales in comparison to the pics you’ve posted. I was in PCB last year and saw all kinds of palms that were not palmettos. I saw tall Washingtonias, dates, and other hardy palms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The average min for Augusta now is 16(based on the 1991-2020 data that just came out) so that's a colder 8b. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK that's a little better, however 12-15 is not abnormal, it's still fairly normal, if slightly below average. That was my overall point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At pier park I remember seeing needle palm, saw palmetto, some Sabal minors, I think Chinese fan palm maybe. That big CIDP near Rosemary beach. Of course at peoples houses they have all kinds of palms planted as well. Sorry I made it sound like there were only palmettos. Let me try again please, if you drive from St. Andrews park west and hop on front beach drive until it ends in Sunnyside 90% of all the palms you’ll see on the strip are palmettos. My point was it just seems weird, that the strip in Myrtle Beach has way more diversity than what I’ve seen in PCB. I must be blind I swear I’ve never seen a washie, I must have been there 15-18 times over the years…or I was more focused on the sights at ground level if you know what I mean lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAVEinMB Posted July 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 Here's some more CIDP to help fight the Monday blues. Not the biggest but they look happy. This is the bonefish grill on 74th Ave N in Myrtle. I've posted pics earlier in this thread of the bonefish on the north end, that one has like 10 CIDP on their property. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimhardy Posted September 2, 2021 Report Share Posted September 2, 2021 Just wanted to comment on the Washys on the first page... I saw 1 Robusta in there, all the rest look like hybrids. When I spent a lot of time out in Az I noticed that the Robusta and Filifera all shed their boot jacks quickly whereas the hybrids hold on to them much longer...even the one in the first picture that looks like Robusta appears to have had them removed. There are obviously varying degrees as to which traits show up and how much Filifera and Robusta come through. Nice pics! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea from what people say most of all commercially available washies are a cross to some degree. I'm not good enough to tell the difference if the cross is slight. I was under the impression that old boots had to manually be removed because no washies are self scrubbing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimhardy Posted September 2, 2021 Report Share Posted September 2, 2021 The ones I saw in the desert if pure Robusta or Filibusta lost their boot jacks quickly compared to the hybrids I would think Washys grown out of the desert in wetter places would lose them quicker??? but maybe its the expansion and contraction of the trunks in arid regions that makes the boot jacks fall off quicker,I would think the wetter weather would rot them off quicker... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, I just looked it up and sure enough they start to self scrub once they reach a height of around 30 feet. Always thought they retained them.

Where is this exactly? Irmo? There are some CIDP’s around the Cola area, albeit rare. Has anyone seen the pair of Phoenix Dactyliferas near Lake Murray just off of highway 6? I haven’t seen them in almost 3 years but I can almost assure you they’re still alive. They made it through some icky winters and are well placed (small brick building blocks NW winds). I almost did cartwheels in my car seat when I saw them for the first time. As far as the SE goes, I think Phoenix Dactyliferas are slightly better suited than CIDP’s. They both don’t like abundant humidity and water but overall the Dactyliferas are slightly more cold hardy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is in Chapin. I have seen a few dactyliferas around as well. I would try one but it’s hard to get the real deal. I planted a mule at my folks place, about 200 yards from this palm.
