They are all hardy where the site owners come from, Florida and Texas.

I like the Zahidi date palm. Very nice looking palm.

hahhahaha cant believe george comes on screen for a chat

Some great pics on that site!

how leggy do these trachys look!






such spindly leaves - does excessive heat do this? and lack of cold stop the chunkiness we get

I wonder if its because they're grown so close together in the second photo? because if they werent up against that wall in the first photo, the wind would blow them over! lol

Probably a combination of factors to grow Tracycarpus with those features.
Heavy premature grooming of the fronds while growing in a fairly mild and periodic warm winter climate.
