I was pricked by my palm tree and now my leg is swollen. Are there toxins in palm trees?

I found this on http://en.allexperts.com/q/First-Aid-995/Palm-Spike-toxins.htm,

The biggest problem with palm spikes is the risk of infection, there are no real toxins related to this that I'm aware of. I have to say that unless you were having an allergic reaction (of which you aren't describing), the sore throat was not related. Be sure to make sure the finger is kept clean and dry and if there are sign's of infection get it looked at ASAP. If you haven't had a tetanus shot in the last 5 years get with your doctor to get that taken care of.

Best of luck,

Hugh

hope you get well soon. :)

Are palm tree thorns in your feet poisonous?

Thorns are not poisonous but they make a puncture wound and can carry dust and dirt deep under the skin and cause a local infection. Even when they seem to be removed in one piece, bits can break off in the wound and cause pain and swelling.

Thorn fragments embedded in your feet can lead to permanent injury. You should definitely be treated by a foot doctor or go to an emergency room or clinic.

What is the northern limit of palm trees in the eastern US?

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.
