I love palm trees and the beauty of them. Something I've always wondered is what Texas metro area has the most palm trees?

Probably Houston, especially around the Galveston area.

Lots of palms in these views:

San Antonio has quite a few, but they are the desert palms, not the tropical ones.

The Rio Grande Valley (Harlingen/McAllen) has lots of palm trees, but it's not a major metro area.

The Rio Grande Region is made up of 4 counties, Hidalgo, Cameron, Willacy and Star with a combined population of 1.3 million people and one of the fastest growing regions in the United States. The McAllen area alone has a population of about 750,000 people.

I've seen a mixture of both in the area, just like the rest of southern Texas.

For major metros, the Houston area comes first, with San Antonio and El Paso both coming in for distant seconds.

Regarding the state as a whole, coastal South Texas is king, especially along the Lower RGV. In fact, South Padre Island has outdoor fruiting coconut palms, a feat matched only by peninsular Florida in the CONUS.

Of any metro area? The Rio Grande Valley for sure.

The Rio Grande Valley probably has the most palm trees in the state of Texas. Also it has a population of over 1.4 million people, it has two metro areas McAllen MSA and Brownsville MSA so yes I'll consider the region a major metro area in Texas. McAllen MSA probably will hit the 1 million mark on the next census 2020.
