Best Answer

in hot countries such as India, Florida

But there are a handful of large growing trunk palms that grow better in cold climates.

Such as the Himalaya mountain Range, they grow wild there. These species suffer in Florida

and warmer climates because it is too hot. If you live in Florida try to pick an area that gets

PM shade. It will be stunted from the heat, you won't see it hit 50' tall like in cooler climates.

Short answer- Redding California

It depends what you consider to be a "palm tree." Most people only consider Coconut Palms or Date Palms palm trees. Some people consider yucca plants and bananas to be palm trees. However, neither yuccas nor bananas are palms and there are many more species of palms than Coconuts and Dates. There are palm trees with fan shaped leaves (people often mistake these for yuccas) ranging in height from short and bush-like to towering and those with feather shaped leaves (like the Coconut) which are more associated with the tropics. True palm species can grow as far from the equator as the British Isles in Europe, British Columbia on the North American west coast, Connecticut on the North American east coast, and Korea on the east coast of East Asia. Most palms in far northern regions are fan-type palms and often do not grow to more than eight to ten feet tall. Some hardy species that can survive in these locations include Sabal minor, Rhapidophyllum hystrix, Trachycarpus fortunei, and Chamerops humulis.

Southern Gulf States.

Wow, usually when I speak I make sure I know what I am talking about first. It would depend on what type of palm tree you are talking about. Having lived from central FL, southeastern NC, and NOLA I think I have a good idea as to what and where you can grow things....atleast in the south that is. The sabal palm and dwarf palm are all NATIVE as far north as NC, so there goes the gulf states thing right there. The sabal is the most common seen through out the South. You also have saw palms, pindo(South American, but so many are in the US now they might as well be native), Mexican fan...Anyways. There is even the needle palm that has been grown as far north as NJ. I have heard people say they have seen them in Conn., but I have personally seen one in Cape May, NJ so..... unless the US has shifted "Southern Gulf States" is wrong!

It depends on sunlight and water for palm trees to grow tall.

where do palm trees grow? Anywhere where frost (0 degrees C) doesn't occur. However, some cold-hardy palms can survive temperatures below zero Fahrenheit.

Can palm trees grow in Dublin Ireland?

The Gulf Stream moderates the climate, making it mild enough for palm trees like Trachycarpus fortunei to grow throughout the island. In the southwest portion of the island, where the climate is mildest, the Canary Island Date Palm (Phoenix canariensis) may be cultivated. However, just because they grow does not mean they grow very well. For palm trees to grow, the most important consideration is that it never gets too cold. In southern Ireland, it's rarely very warm, but it's also almost never very cold either. In these conditions, a palm tree can survive and grow. It will not grow very large, however and it probably won't bear fruit. They manage to live there, but don't thrive and get very large. They reason they are there is because someone planted them as a decoration. They're not native to the area and probably would not continue to grow there if they were not actively cultivated by humans. +++ They are also grown in the warmer parts of England & Wales - Scotland might be a bit too far North but I'm happy to be corrected if someone knows of a sheltered spot with palm-trees there.


Why are some palm trees not coconut trees?

Probably because they're not coconut palms. There are many species of trees (over 1500) generically called "palm trees," but only the coconut palm produces coconuts. The scientific name of the coconut palm is Cocos nucifera, which is essentially the Latin equivalent of "coconut bearer." Even if they are actually coconut palms, they might not bear coconuts in Arizona. Coconut palms require very warm temperatures year-round, and considerable moisture; Arizona is a bit too far north, and mostly too dry, for them to grow well.
