I think the palm in your pic is a butia (which really shows the variation in Butias because not only does it look different from the one behind it, but it also looks like its a lot more cold tender than the one behind it). The main reason why I think the palm in your pic is not a date is because the petiole isnt armed with thorns.
I'm looking forward to seeing more pics around VB and around your yard!

No im almost certain it is a cidp. The leaves arent showing thorns because they are stunted and did not fully grow out of the crown. The leaves are also a light green and felt soft as opposed to the rigid leaves of the pindo palm

Here is a link to the location it looks like there was a different palm ther a few years ago also they planted alot of sabals there that are not in the street view

Here is a link that might be useful: streetview

I thought it was a Pindo too...

Looks Butia to me also, more than likely planted there last year but took on winter damage big time.

i know that palm at plaza azteca its a jelly and they cut all the fronds off when they were perfectly green for some reason! nice pics shoe us more of VB! -Justin

I guess the new light green leaves are misleading .
I have some more pics I wanted to takenpics of the palms on the oceanfront but my camera broke on the trip.

I visited pungo palms while I was ther and got Alot of new plants

A Garden Web friend of mine drove down to Pungo Palms over the weekend. He said they were very expensive and was disappointed by the selection. Said same of other garden centers in VA Beach. I would've expected more too from an area that can support alot of palms.

I was satisfied with their selection.

I bought

A waggy
3 types of opuntia
An agave
A variegated yucca alofolia
A sabal palmetto
A sabal domingensis seedling
A pindo seedling
A musa basjoo

I also got some Spanish moss

I wanted to get a fatsia japonica but they didn't have any potted ones

Here are the pics

giant reed

sabal probably seed grown

banana

sabal trunk what is the damage from?

Are the philodendrons hardy on zone 8

needle palm

another one

pindo

sabal

what kind of tree is that

eucalyptus

windmill

another banana

alot of palms

nice pond

upright windmill palm

med fan palm

Great pics! I really like the variegated reed grass. They probably look weedy in the wild, but they look great when they are purposely planted! The Philodendrons look good too. My philodendron that I wintered in my garage has about the same amount of growth as the one in your pic. I guess they arent evergreen in VB.
Thanks for sharing!

Yeah I am growing some giant reed. I planted some last year and it came back this year.

I didn't realize reed grass was anything special or tender, since it's everywhere here . I pulled mine out because it grew too tall in my garden. Replaced it and some other too tall grasses and shrubs to make room for hardy palms.

Statenisland:

I procured two Fatsias, one variegated and one not, off of Fantastic Plants. Very healthy, more than decent size, and they arrived trauma free. They have been living in my jungle since late March.

Statenisland, are those pics taken at Pungo Palms?

Jacklord do you have any pics? And if you don't mind me asking how much were they.

Wetsuiter no they are from jungle mini golf. The two last ones were taken at the oceanfront

StatenIsle:

Look for yourself. The ones I received look just like their photos:

Great pics of lots of fun stuff-
Thanks for posting them(-:

Jacklord I saw the pics i might consider ordering one next year since i dont have any room this year

I found them to be a great company to deal with. They good good marks from others as well.

Thanks let me know how they overwinter, since were in the same zone. Ive seen them at my local botanical garden and they were wrapped in burlap for the winter and they survived with no damage.

Hello Everyone...

Wetsuiter...talk to Justin @ Tropic Palms tell him that we had emailed each other..and i sent you to him!!!

Great guys..Friendly and knowledgable!!!!

Good Luck!!!
