In-N-Out Burger planted palmettos along Hartmann Drive in Lebanon as well as at their Franklin location. What kind are they? I'm worried that if they're standard cabbage palmettos, it'll be a needless waste of money on their part and possibly goad the spread of unduly repressive local ordinances beyond Memphis. I know maybe my fears are overblown to some degree, but still.

Please sign and share this petition if you agree that In-N-Out needs to play it safe in Tennessee! https://chng.it/nXKr7VpqF8

Birmingham palmettos are cold-hardy to 5 degrees Fahrenheit, Brazoria palmettos to 0 and needle palms to -5, making them far better choices than the iconic cabbage palmettos and overrated Chinese windmill palms that are only reliably hardy to 10. (Thanks again to @Allen for the insight post-January 2024!) Furthermore, they should probably plant in April to maximize the chance of success; I had bad experiences waiting until May to plant Birmingham palmettos in Gentry in May 2021 due to COVID, but I know from experience that when I plant palms in April, I'm likely to succeed. I also don't even expect you to agree with me politically and am not looking for a debate; I only mentioned that simply to highlight the strength of my feelings on this issue.

I'm just a neurodivergent Middle Tennessean guy that's obsessively interested in native plants (especially evergreen trees/shrubs) from spruces to palms.

I would imagine they will just replant as needed.  It's more marketing for them

Brazoria palmettos are most certainly not reliably hardy to 0F.  In my own experience, mine was killed at 10F in Knoxville, TN.  Birminghams can survive brief dips into the single digits, but a week with highs below 32F, and ultimate lows in the low single digits can, will, and have killed large, mature Birminghams.

At any rate, the petition is a waste of time, IMHO.  They will replant after they are killed.  Or maybe they won't.

Maybe In-n-Out knows a thing or two about global warming

When our local Bahama Breeze opened, it had A.merilli and P.roebellini planted. Lasted 6 weeks. The landscapers can't properly maintain the Trachycarpus palms that remain.

Fake palms threads are always entertaining.

I had to dig in the archives for that one.
