That would be greatDean W. wrote:They look pretty ragged. It was very windy and cold. I guess they'll survive though. I'm going to try and take some pics in my area soon.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Here are a few from around the vicinity. I'm not much of a photographer so please excuse any blurriness.DesertZone wrote:That would be greatDean W. wrote:They look pretty ragged. It was very windy and cold. I guess they'll survive though. I'm going to try and take some pics in my area soon.

Nice, thanks!
The trachies look good, but what is amazing to me is how much better the sabal looks than the robusta. All that damage at 15F degrees wow. I bet everthing comes back just add warm weather.

Gorgeous blue on those!
I was thinking the same thing as Aaron about Washy vs. Sabal.
Didn't think there would be that noticeable a difference in cold hardiness.
Maybe other factors are at play here too, idling engines/car exhaust affecting one species more than another, as well as the bitter cold.
Your palms and sago look the best, Dean!
Are those Trachy seeds hanging over the Sago in 5th pic of your post?
They look ripe.
Anytime you're going for another drive, Dean, please take your camera with you.
Thanks for those great pics.

Hi CT...couldn't open the link.
When you're on that Aruba palm pics page, highlight the URL at the very top of your screen (not Palms North's URL button).
Ctrl C to copy.
Then Ctrl V to paste it here, with Palms North "URL button" ahead of that text, then click the Palms North URL button again at the end of the text.
That will give a "clickable" link that anyone can open.

Hi CT
Think you're trying to upload pic from an Iphone?
Have a read here...on how to get Iphone pic loaded to a photo host like Flickr without corrupting your picture by messing with it on your phone.

HI CT, congrats on getting that link perfect.
(Ignore my IPhone link!)
The tall skinny trunked palms are Coconut palms, Cocos nucifera , "the paradigm of the tropics and tropical beauty", according to Riffle & Craft.
I think the shorter one in foreground is a Sabal palmetto.
Is that a pic from a recent trip?
If so, we need MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE pics.

Many coconut palms are "de-fruited" by hotels etc so their guests don't get clunked on the head passing beneath them.
Or sprouted fruit/pits/stones from tourists dropping seeds from lunch?
Too bad tourists don't drop Cervesa seeds...
Barb
Strap leaves = new palms.they had little baby seedlings near them

Hey CT, that was a very fast fix.
Hey CT, that was a very fast fix.
None of our palms will ever look like they do in Aruba...but we can sure give it a good ole' college try.
And remember that Arubians (?? ) would love to grow a Fir or Spruce tree.
Dean...palm trees with seeds are boring?
Nope, never, not on a bad / good day.
You have been away too long!

What a fabulous resort, Paul...
That palm-lined promenade to the pool is beautifully laid out and landscaped.
By the way, the tall palms on each side of that promenade with the silver-grey clear trunks up to the crownshaft, those are not COCOS palms.
Cocos (coconut palms) are the ones you see at the beach, and near the Happy Island boat (in pic).
Thanks for the pics.
Anybody else know the names of palms on each side of the brick path to the pool?

Welcome aboard Paul, I'm right outside of Providence.
I liked your pictures from Aruba, the last time I was there the natural bridge was still there, so it's been awhile now, wonderful island and super nice people there.
Even though we'll never look like Aruba here in the NE, we do our best He's a few shots from last year.
The landscape looks a little different right now with all this white stuff everywhere

Hey Bill
I love your yard
Here's a pic of my deck last summer, I have been afraid to plant palms in the ground until I found this site.

Fabulous palms, Paul.
The fence...looks like you're keeping the palms from leaving?
