Mature coconuts spotted in northern Palm Coast, FL 9b

Spotted these in a beach side community in north Palm Coast, FL borderline getting into St Augustine-ish area in my opinion. One even had some small fruit. I’ve posted a few of these posts about northern coconuts and always like to share when I spot them out of their normal zone

    According to weather statistics, it's a very very mild 9b, in the sense that the average min temperature in winter is 50 F. Yet these specimens must have seen quite a few nights in the 30s, which is impressive. I hope they look better in the summer.

    Zone 9b: if you love it, cover it.

    By beach side I assume you mean close to A1A rather than I95. I've seen Screw Pine near Marineland, so my guess is that cold is intermittent so close to the ocean

    Literally almost beachside maybe a dozen houses down from the beach. Neighborhood is east of A1A. Maybe 10 mins south of Marineland 

    What its location on google maps so you can tell how long it’s been there?

    I agree, especially the lowest photo.  That looks like it had the trunk recently cleaned up of a bunch of old frond boots.  And the oldest leaves are pretty ragged too, like it has been "eating" them for nutrients.  With 2 fairly big cold fronts in 2025 and another coming next week, it'll be interesting to see what happens.  If they were transplanted over the summer, they are doing really well so far!

    I didn’t get exact location but doesn’t appear neighborhood has any recent historic photos either
