Sorry to piggy back but I seem to have a memory of
palm trees growing in Scotland does anyone have a
link for where these are grown ?
Cordyline australis aka "Torbay palm" or"Cabbage palm" can be seen in
gardens on the mild west coast from Galloway to Ullapoole. Chusan palm
also grows here but isn't quite so common.

ermm, Cordyline australis isn't a palm, despite the rather midleading
common name.

Trachycarpus fortunei and Chamaerops humilis seem to be cropping up all
over the place now, and T fortunei seems pretty difficult to kill off.
