| These photos are not from my own garden but are from the private garden of a friend who lives in Alexandria, Virginia. He has been growing hardy palms and other subtropical plants in the location for about 15 years. He has used a combination of hardy and tender plants to produce a wonderfully tropical-looking yard. Here are just a few of the highlights; see link below for more photos.
Hardy palms including needle palm (Rhapidophyllum hystrix) and windmill palm (Trachycarpus fortunei):
The windmill palm is one of the oldest and largest in the area, about 15 years old with about 8 feet of trunk:
Another hardy palm, Sabal minor and a big trunked yucca catching the setting sun:
