Here are some pics of my volunteers. They're under 3 older parents, on a south-facing wall of an unheated garage. Starting about 5 years ago, I've seen more each year. They were under leaf mulch, but  for the past 3 years they've been exposed.

Climate maps of the USA show that the Ohio River Valley and south are in the humid subtropical climate. Seeing palms naturalize in our area makes it more believable!

Pretty cool.  I have a lot of minor seeds forming this year.

I really think Sabal Louisiana is much hardier than people think!

Yeah, these volunteers are between my Louisiana and large standard (SC/Fla) minors on either side.

Like many forum members, I've been trying for the most "tropical" yard possible. Minors, Sabal Louisiana, and needles are the winners for me.

To fill out the yard, I'm using Colocasias and Cannas (not digging- only mulch for over-wintering).
