Lets just say that if you could grow any palm in your (no matter what zone your in) zone but you could only pick one what would it be? I would have a hard time deciding between a washy and a CIDP. I would have to pick Canary Island Date Palm. 😀

Would have a small pond with a Ravenea musicalis .......................
Anyways, my Robustas came thru this Winter so I will be happy with those 😆

That is not an easy choice. I'd pick a Bismarkia.

I would have to go with a coconut palm. Nothing says palm tree like a cocos nucifera. Second choice would be Bismarkia nobilis (silver).

There is only one "boss of all palms" and that is the coconut. 😉

I imagine if you asked someone from Hawaii, Mexico or the Carribean they'd say Trachycarpus. I'd have to agree Coconut palm would be the ultimate in tropical palm expression.

It would have to be a Bismarkia nobilis #1 and very close second is a King palm (Archontopheonix cunninghamiana)

I would like a good sized jubaea chilensis. At least ten feet of trunk.
