I would say that the northern limit of palms on the east coast of North America would be coastal Rhode Island (borderline plant zone 7a/7b) or Nantucket (solid plant zone 7b) (RI is farther north, but Nantucket is technically farther up the coast). It is generally accepted that both the Dwarf Palmetto (Sabal minor, a non-trunking palm similar and related to S. palmetto) and the Needle Palm (Rhapidophylum hystrix) can survive AND reproduce in areas as far north as the New York area (coastal southern Connecticut). Because summer heat is an important factor in the survival of these specimens, they are easier to grow in southern CT than RI and the MA islands; the climates of the latter two are too maritime in the summer months to produce substantial growth, but, it still is very possible. Sabal palmetto can be grown in zone 7 areas with success if protected from the cold and sited appropriately on a south-facing foundation. But, in terms of a northern limit of palms, they would not be included because they would not survive "naturally." Windmill palms are a bit hardier than Sabal palmettos, but still need to be protected in northern zone 7 climates. Windmill palms (Trachycarpus fortunei) do well in areas with heavy maritime influence and may very well be better adapted to places like Nantucket than either the Needle Palm or the Dwarf Palmetto. More gardeners in the areas around New York ought to try some of these palm varieties.
Palm Trees do not grow naturally in Massachusetts but you can grow real Palm Trees within the state. Windmill Palm Trees and Needle Palms are the two Palm Trees able to survive in Massachusetts. In the Winter both of these palms can withstand temperatures to -20 degrees. Palm Trees are easier to grow in eastern Massachusetts than western. Eastern Mass is Worcester and east. The best locations to grow palms in Eastern Mass is areas on the coast. For example, Boston and Cape Cod and the Islands (Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard).
It would be southern France
The collective noun for palm trees is a grove of palm trees.
Dates are the fruit of the date palm tree.
No. There is not palm trees in the state of Maine. It's to cold for them.
No. Palm trees grow on land, not in the water.
All palm trees are vascular plants. Some palm trees bear fruit such as the coconut palm tree and the date palm tree.
Yes, especially along the Gulf coast and within about 200 miles of the coast. There aren't many palm trees in the western or northern parts of the state, but in San Antonio, Austin or Houston, there are palm trees all over.
Peaches never grow on palm trees. Only coconuts and palm nuts grow from palm trees.
There is one native palm tree species in California, the remaining 150 or so were imported. There is debate whether they were part of a mission to get the unemployed back to work (plant) or as part of Los Angeles Olympic bid in 1932
Palm trees are multicellular
Not all islands have palm trees. The reason palm trees are able to grow on some islands is due to soil and the climate of the area.
