Believe it or not, there are Palm trees in Massachusetts. However, there is only two types that you could grow here and that would survive the winter here. Those are the Needle Palm, and Windmill Palm. Most of our Palm Trees are in pot's in urban areas, or on the south coast. I myself have a potted Windmill palm on my porch. I live west of Boston, I have seen a few queen palms as well, but you have to bring those in the winter. I think you could grow any palm in a pot if you wanted too. Just bring it in in the winter. So the answer is yes, Massachusetts does have Palm trees.
