I saw plenty of palm trees when I was in Columbia during May 2007.
I'm from the Caribbean so palm trees don't interest me at all and I don't find them exotic at the least. The only palm I like is phoenix canariensis, which are grown best in Csa climates and PR is too hot for them. But, my most favorite vegetation are magnolias, cherry blossoms, and royal poincianas. Palm trees in general are overrated and they shouldn't go beyond their native range

Perhaps that's why they're so common in California, at least the San Francisco Bay Area. Though that's a Csb climate.

That's true, they grow all the way up to Crescent City, CA if I'm not mistaken, or slightly into the Oregon border. Basically still a cooler Mediterranean climate. When I went to Tenerife in the Canary Islands, I saw many of them growing in the Mediterranean side (north side) in La Orotava Valley, but I saw them in the semi-arid parts too south of Santa Cruz de Tenerife

Yeah, palm trees are honestly quite boring trees. I don't understand the obsession or the need to grow them out of their native range either. It seems people do it to make their climates seem warmer than they are...

I think it's the tourism and leisure industry that idolizes palm trees. Palm trees equals vacation in many people's minds. Of course, no palm tree brings vacation . I don't know in Florida, but in PR, most of the coconut palms are in areas where there's lots of tourists. In the residential areas and the mountains, the vast vast majority of vegetation is native

They grow them here in residential areas too, they line the streets here. You don't find much "native" vegetation here until you're in the rural interior.
I agree regarding the tourism industry thing. I'm not sure how a tree equates to vacation though. Just shows how impressionable people are. I've noticed it's people from cool climates the ones who seem to most obsessed with them.
Palm Trees don't bring anything but flying roaches here seriously, they bring gross ass bugs

The sabal palm is such a beautiful tree. If landscape is dominated by palms, like A1A for example, it becomes boring. But they make a great ornament in areas that are primarily pine forest and/or deciduous.
I love the gentle rustling that the fronds make when the wind blows. This one is outside my bedroom window where I stay in Florida.
