Spotted 2 more even larger Washingtonias in zone 8b


Recommended Posts

I have another spotting in Evans,GA this really gives me confidence in the fact that Washingtonias can thrive in a hot humid zone 8b climate. These 2 in the back of the picture by the house are even larger than the one in my last post. They also have a very nice collection of Pindos, Palmettos, Windmills, and Sagos. The Washingtonias are proof that they can survive snowstorms and temperatures even as low as 11 degrees fahrenheit, as I have also listed the yearly lows for the area in the next picture. I am thinking about growing a collection with as much variety also if I stay in the area and not move.

With a list like that there's almost certainly some Needle palms & Sabal minor as well. FYI "Sago" is not a palm despite it's colloquial moniker. Some proof right there that those palms in your list will take a quick ephemeral freeze.
