Tennessee Palms Posted April 21, 2020 Report Share Posted April 21, 2020 (edited) I took this picture back in February at a BBQ restaurant. This palm has been there for around a decade and it's definitely an impressive specimen. Unfortunately this is the only one that I know of in West Tennessee.

kinzyjr Posted April 21, 2020 Report Share Posted April 21, 2020 @Tennessee Palms Welcome to the forums! The Subtropical Memphis WordPress site has a few Rhapidophyllum hystrix (Needle Palms) on it. Homepage: https://subtropicalmemphis.wordpress.com/ Needle Palms: https://subtropicalmemphis.wordpress.com/2015/04/22/needle-palm-a-sharp-choice-for-the-memphis-climate/ I found photos of Sabal minor at Memphis Botanical Gardens from Subtropical Memphis on Palmpedia and I've seen photos of Trachycarpus fortunei there, but no mention of Needle Palms. Can't imagine that they wouldn't have them other than worries over kids playing around them. 2 Lakeland, FL USDA Zone (2012): 9b | Sunset Zone: 26 | Record Low: 20F/-6.67C (1985, 1962) | Record Low USDA Zone: 9a | 30-Year Avg.

But Needle Palms are just impossible to find out here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a semi mature sabal palmetto in Memphis, unprotected. Edited April 2, 2021 by EastCanadaTropicals 1 Nothing to say here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
