If your local HD or Lowes doesn't sell outdoor hardy palms go to www.tytyga.com to find the several palms which have been successful in Delaware.

FYI, the original post is from 2009. Look in the left hand corner for the most recent date of posts. Not all posts are time sensitive, but some are. While this one might easily interest a new person, if it was about a particular housing development for example, you might have gone to a lot of trouble posting and the original post had already purchased in another location.

Since Philadelphia is within the humid subtropical climate zone, it doesn’t surprise me in the least that palm trees can be grown there.........There are even a few palms in New York City from what I’ve heard
