Can it grow coconut palms? This is my hood in the Dominican Republic. My personal picture. I've never seen palms that high in Miami.
Coconut Palms used to grow 70 ft tall in South Florida, but a tree disease called Lethal Yellowing popped up in the 1960s and took most of them down. All the green lawns for golf courses brought pests which took down the palms.

Not to mention the effect the winter chills bring to them when the drop down into FL from the northeast.

Yeah, all the coconuts seemed to have grown tall from pics I've seen of those days.
Miami cannot plant Jamaican Talls that much because of lethal yellowing. Miami's temps can definitely handle tropical vegetation.
