Thanks for that, Joe.

My first in-ground palm was T. Fortunei in 1980, bought during a trip to Florida.

Earlier than that, I was aware that Sabal Palmetto was growing in southern North Carolina. I specualted that while NC was certainly not the Delaware Valley, climate-wise, it was also not Florida. The inference being that Sabal Palmetto might at least have a chance up here in certain situations. I wanted to get one, but back then (the 70s), no nurseries up here had them (or any "hardy" palms) and there was no internet. The only sure way of getting them was to take a trip down to where they were common -- and my family RARELY went on long trips.

The internet has been the biggest help.
