Hi everyone. My first post. I often travel along the east coast from Virginia down to the Keys and am also fascinated by the change in hardiness zones and vegetation. Here is a photo of some palm trees on the western shore of Holden Beach, NC. I thought they were very tall for an 8b, relatively northern location. They are by far the tallest I have ever encountered on the island. I thought only palmettos grew in NC but maybe I'm wrong?? Hope you enjoy viewing the photo.

    Beautiful photo. Of course the tall ones are palmettos; all pulled from natural stands. The smaller ones are Butia odorata. Even these are good to the 10° to 15° range if there's no freezing precipitation.

    I always assumed palmettos only grew to a limited height. I have a lot to learn.

    Probably about 60-ft. Not as tall as W.robusta but a nicer looking palm.
