Stumbled on this superb example of palm varieties in Macon, Georgia.
Fine work.

Barb that`s a great site. I`ll never get bored looking at palms especially the cold hardy variety.Doesn`t look like much of a challenge in Macon Ga. though.

I agree growing palms couldn't be much of a challenge in Georgia, but it was neat to read
the fellow's journey of "awareness", and his dedication to the project to photograph them in situ.
I enjoyed viewing his pics.
Cool personal story he posted, too, re the paternal grandmother's home and his wish to preserve
a plant she loved, which evolved into his love of palms.
He seemed very determined to catalogue locations/pics.

Steve,
So none of your neighbors have copied your passion! Too bad.

Here's another site that has GREAT TREES located as "clickable" on Google Earth.
Wow, the work that went into this!
No idea which city it is though.

I've spread a few around town 😀
After the ice storm last December, then severe storms this year, most yards are still a little bare.
