Does anyone know of a palm tree that will survive the winters in Zone 7A,
North Carolina. I'd like to plant one or two next to my pond in my back
yard. Thanks!


I have a friend here in 7b (I think) that had 2 palm trees for several
years, every fall he'd wrap them in plastic and stack hay bales around
them. Then last year he got lazy and they died.

Please remove the spamtrap to email me.

At the entrance of a development 3-4 miles from my house, They have two tall
(probably 25 - 35 feet) palm trees that have lived through at least 3-4
winters. They look just like the palms you see at the beaches in Florida
but needless to say, they are some special kind for our winters here in NC.
If I can find out who planted them and what kind they are, I'll post back to
the group. They are beautiful and the tops stay green year-round. Thanks
for your reply.
