Thank you.

KGL- Can you share with us the approximate cost of the landscape work shown in the picture?

Yikes, Jimbo I think you are correct - good eye!

Not sure if KGL thinks they are a good palm in these temps or the owner wanted them.

There are too many others U can buy for $200 that are cold weather tolerant.

OMG, what was the homeowner thinking....planting those terrible queen palms? They'll either be 50 feet tall in just a few weeks, or dead after the next frost. LOL

the bluish palm in the foreground is a Bismarckia nobilis, a beautiful palm but they can get big (very wide) pretty quick. I hope this homeowner is on a corner lot cause that palm will need some room to spread. It's also a zone 10 palm, marginally hardy for TV. I did see a few nice ones when we were there in Dec.

zone 10 is comfortable at 30-35 degrees min low.

Why do you think a landscaper would use a zone 10 in a zone 9A region like here.

There's a 10 degree difference.

People should speak to the Plant Clinic folks first get their great plant book for FREE.

Because people come here expecting things to look a certain way and are willing to take a chance to get it.

a few hours of overnight temps in the low 20s or even high teens probably wouldn't kill most mature bismarckias, but would burn the foliage badly. But they're a fast grower so they would produce a new crown pretty quick, thus the homeowner wouldn't have to look at an ugly, damaged palm for very long.
