my greenthumb wife loves them. what are areas where you can grow palm trees? i know obviously california (i am from it), and southern Florida but what about Texas and the Gulf Coast? How far do they go up the east coast? Charleston?

Where do palm trees grow in the United States?
palm trees grow from seattle washington on the west coast, can grow in southern tennesse, and can grow up to the new jersey coast on the east coast.





common palms like sabals grow on the east coast from about raleigh , nc to and around the gulf coast into texas.





mexican fan palms are common on the west coast can be grown from portland oregon, along the west coast all the way to savannah geroria on the east coast.





cold hardy palms





the windmill palm is very cold tollerant and can survine regular snow. cold tollerant to 5 degrees fahrenheit they can grow from seattle to richmond virginia with no problem and can also grow in southern alaska on the west coast all the way to cape cod on the east coast with some protection.


THIS PALM CAN ONLY BE GROWN ON THE COAST EASILY BECAUSE IT DOESNT LIKE DRY SUMMERS, OR HARSH WINTERS.





also in areas north of the south people dont like growing palms becuase many think they are only tropical since most are, so you probably wont see many if any north of norfolk, virginia on the east coast and north of california on the west coast





THE TROPICAL PALMS





cocunt palms can only be grown well in the keys in flordia and the coast of hawaii. california isnt warm enough for long tern survival becuase it needs 80s in the winter and 90s in the summer to grow well. also needs lots of humidity and rain.





palms are tropical plants fo the most part, but some are more cold hardy then you think





palms in california are common. the best are royal, majesty, date, spindle, and the triangle palm. windmill palms are also common in california, but are well pruned unlike in cold areas
Reply:I live in California, and have been told the the reasont hey are so good here is soil and not alot of water. I live in the desert and imagine that it is true. I have 3 king and 4 queen and the water they get is rain occasionally- 4 times a year

When I lived in Savannah, there were palm trees, but not many.
