And look at how excited all those "bloggers" are about it since it's so rare.

Well, in the end, Central Florida and coastal South Texas stand out as the only two areas of the continental US outside of South Florida that can get coconuts growing. They won't be as healthy or common as in the tropics, but they can still grow regardless.

I hold them about the same, aesthetically. Washintonia filifera a little lower in attractiveness than the sabal palmetto, due to the skirt, while robusta is about the same, or higher (due to the height). But other species of sabal are abound, and can look quite exotic. Did you know that they recently discovered a new species?
