Busan for sure... at least it would have the capability of growing hardy palms like windmill palm unprotected unlike Pyongyang
Being so close to China I thought Busan would have tons of Chusan Palms. I find those to be a very attractive looking palm. I was on the Delaware Coast recently and saw lots of those newly planted. Am very happy to see that as the southern NJ coast and DE coast are all solid zone 7b, and the vegetation should reflect what can grow in that zone, not what can grow in Vermont and the rest of New England.
The city and inner burbs here are also 7b, but culturally palm trees seem a no go in these areas. Coastal areas are more into palm trees.
Busan for me. Nice summers and the winters aren't so bad.

I spent a few days in Busan. I saw a few Windmill palms, but they didn't seem to be widely planted. It might be different now. Not my favourite palm. They tend to look a bit "ratty" from the sun. They look a lot better when grown under a thick canopy.
Busan. I don't know how's sunshine in Pyongyang but Busan's ~200 hours of sunshine every month must make a very nice winter, alongside with those mild temperatures. I don't like Pyongyang's dry and freezing winter.
I don't really think these palms evoke a tropical (or even subtropical) ambience. They make me think of cool, damp climates.
What palms do you think would be better to suit Busan instead of the windmill palm to accurately reflect its cool dry sunny winters and hot, wet and steamy summers?
