Yes, there are several species of palms that will grow in central and eastern Maryland. The hardiest of these is the Needle Palm (Rhapidophyllum hystrix), which grows as a spreading bush-type palm. It will survive all the way into the mountains of Western Maryland. The Dwarf Palmetto (Sabal minor) will survive well into the piedmont, and specimens have been seen as far west as Hagerstown.
The hardiest trunking palm tree is the Windmill Palm (Trachycarpus fortunei). There is a large group of windmill palms behind the National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC that have been thriving, unprotected, for many years now. Windmill palms have also been spotted in Baltimore City, Dundalk, Catonsville, Ellicott City, Annapolis, and there is a 20-foot specimen growing on the grounds of the Chesapeake Biological Lab in Solomons, MD. Windmill palms are actually very commonly planted in Ocean City because, unlike the more tropical palms, they do not need to be replaced every spring. The cabbage palmetto (Sabal palmetto) can also be grown in some parts of Maryland, if it is provided with adequate winter protection for the first few years it is in the ground, and it is sited well (against a building, on the south side, away from harsh winds).
There are several other species of palms that people are experimenting with in Maryland. You will see palms more commonly planted in MD in the future.
