Captivating!

I love how you have instantly wisked me away to a “tropical Palm paradise” in 7A! I am working hard to get there someday, clearly you have a few years headstart on me, wow I love the inspiration someday I hope to have my “tropical Palm jungle” surrounding my pool as well!

Can I get a Palm and Bamboo list please sir?

I think I spy a Trachy Fortunei? Sabal Minor? Is that a Mule or a Butia Hybrid…?

Thanks so much!  My palm list is in my signature.  Spectabilis and Bissetii for the bamboo.

Thanks for pointing that out I seen it so many times I forgot it was there! LOL! Mine are in the “about me” section of my profile.

I'd call it a 7b area (with the pool nearby/surrounding vegetation there), but looks quite impressive for that far North.

Your yard looks incredible. I still can't believe you're in zone 7a.

I'm technically in the same zone and a few years ago we had between -6F to -11F on the first of March, which would have likely wiped out every palm.

That view could mix right in with a Florida landscape and no one would question it being Florida. Great job!
