Florida is more tropical than CA and IMO does have a better variety of palms, especially the coconut palm, one of my favorite palm trees. It's beaches are warmer, nicer, and have better sand too. Gotta give FL credit where credit is due and this is one of those cases. I wish CA could grow the variety of palms and tropical foliage in general that FL can, especially the coconut palm.
Do they have many queen palms in FL? I haven't see too many of those in pics and they have a ton in Southern CA.

Yep, a bunch (those are my faves).
They grow pretty much from North Central Florida on down. The Northern reaches of the State get too cold for them.
I must say, all of you Californians are being very classy in this thread.

They were all up to the developer as to what they wanted to plant. Now if you post a pix of a swamp or the Everglades, then you can say those are palms that are native to the place.

People have to built those and clear land to put them up. Do you really think they build AROUND trees when they clear land for development. Hey, I got a few palms on my property. I have pix when they were building the house. There was NOTHING there. They PUT those palms in.

What absolutely bizarre logic. You claimed that outside of swamps and the Everglades, that none of Florida's palms are naturally occuring.
So, I guess you're telling us that the beautiful coconut palms, queen palms, etc. that dot the coastline were all planted by developers?

Did I say they were naturally occuring? NO . We are not on that Naturally occuring palm argument anymore . Someone asked if there were queen palms in Florida and I said yes and posted some pictures. That is not to say I haven't seen any queen palms, although not native to florida, growing without human intervention in the woods, or a field, because I have. you should read back before jumping into and trying to start an argument.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There a church near where I used to work. Walking distance to the beach. They had coconut palms. They used to have DAISIES were the palms where. I watched them as they brought in the palms, dug up the daisies, etc.
I also watched as they dug up the flowers on the median in the road where I live. They took MONTHS with the construction. Planted palms all along it. Even WATERED them every day.
Geesch. They build houses, pools, stadiums, AROUND palms already there.
