Have you ever been to the Fairchild botanical gardens in the Coconut Grove area of Miami? Highly recommended for palms & other tropical plants

Keep in mind that Texas has more palms than any other Southern state besides Florida. And the other Gulf states & the Carolinas have palms but are marginal due to winter cold. Even northern Florida gets cold nights that can kill many species of palm. Ironically, though much further north, California can grow palms that only SoFlorida & Hawaii can grow [due to mild enough winter night temps.

Yes, Miami seems to have more palms than Los Angeles but the palm is probably the most prominent tree in both cities.

Compton has palm trees. So does Oakland. So does Long Beach. Those places have some of the most hardcore 'hoods known to man, does that make them any different than Miami?

The palms in Florida are generally tropical palms, whereas in southern California, what you see are desert palms.

Almost all of the trees in southern California, with the exceptions of the mountains and bluffs areas, are planted. Palms are not native to the area. There are places throughout southern California that specialize in growing palms for landscaping purposes. In Florida, particularly the southern part, you're more apt to see naturally growing (not planted) palm trees.

Throughout the rest of the southeast, palms are only really found along the coast, and not much farther north than the southern end of Cape Hatteras.

One species of palm tree is native to the deserts of Southern CA.
