Re: Palms of Raleigh - these really are Sabal Birminghams

Posted by Ron (DE Zone 7a) on March 22, 2008, 11:19:07, in reply to "Palms of Raleigh, North Carolina - Part I"

It was confirmed by Gary Hollar and several others on the Hardy Palm Board - these big "Sabals ???"s I photographed at Jaycee Park really are Sabal x Birminghams, in case someone missed it. According to Gary, they were planted in the early 80s.

Is anyone growing these in the Philly area? These looked very happy in Raleigh but that's still a warm 7b down there so they might need some winter cover up here. Is there any consensus as to whether Birminghams are as harder or hardier than typical Trachycarpus?
