I am wondering if you guys think Vancouver should start planting feather palms like Jubaea Chilensis and Butia Capitata all over the city? Do you think the climate here could support that? I know CIDP is a bit too tender for here but what about other feather palms? Would they look great here or do you think they would look completely out of place here?
I have no particular clue about these palms, but aside from the immediate shoreline, aren't frosts very frequent in winter? Surely won't help.
Yes they would not be suitable for everywhere.. just along the coastline but fortunately, Vancouver has a lot of coastline being comprised of many peninsulas and a few islands.
Plant in coastal areas of Victoria. Canada needs a "palm tree city". But not in Vancouver. I just feel like they would fit Victoria better. Vancouver is a very PNW-looking city, very similar to Seattle, while Victoria seems a bit more California-like, so the palms would fit better there.
