There's a wedding venue in New Haven, Anthony's Ocean View which holds ceremonies right on the beach in the summer and they have about 6 palm trees out there. It's kind of funny and awkward to see. Someone told me at one point the ridiculous amount of money they pay to have them trucked and stored for the cold months...but if you have the funds and like them, I guess why not?
I've got my bananas wintering in the basement. Can't wait to get them out into the sun. Tropical plants are amazing. Last year I pulled my banana plant out of the basement and placed it in the sun and it shot up an 18 inch shoot in a couple of hours.
I have a palm tree fetish and I must see pics or it didn't happen. So enchanted was I with palm trees and the accompanying warmth that I almost moved to the Tampa Bay area at one point. I've been getting my fix with annual winter visits to my grandmother in St. Pete.
If palm trees are present anywhere in Connecticut I want to know about it!
Call CT Palm! They rent, sell and lease palm trees! They will even plant, remove and store them/ keep them alive in their warehouse for you in the off season if you choose to buy one!
Tropical stuff is pointless in Connecticut IMO. I've had Lemon, Banana, Avocado, Key Lime all die on me and that's with constantly bringing them in for the winter and caring for them.
They don't belong in our climate. Just like Magnolia and some other tree types.
My mom in southern NY doesn't mind though..
Even Canna plants with Tropical like foliage needs to be brought indoors. Pain for Beauty?
Call CT Palm! They rent, sell and lease palm trees. And they will keep them alive for you in the off season in their warehouse based in CT !
I started another post before I saw this one, sorry! My windmill palm lived this year with NO protection in Fairfield. It full defoliated, but it is growing again! I wanted to do an experiment. Those suckers are hardy!
