@@carlosjames6562 Because it’s not widely accepted that Cocos grow in greater Orlando. I do not see them on the roadways or at hotels or airports or college campuses or other well known places in central Florida. Just because it’s zone 10a does not mean Cocos are planted on every street corner. Furthermore, you’re at 28.3°N and inland (not on the coast), which is widely accepted as being too far north for Cocos to survive and produce viable seed and form new life all on its own without human intervention long term. Some would not consider those Cocos as being fully hardy there. That line typically ends around 27°N. Additionally, the closest official NWS weather station to you is just southeast of you and going back to 1990, on average the yearly min temp is 31° with the lowest being 23° in 2001, more than enough to outright kill Cocos. They also would have had the chance at dying in 2010, 2003 and several more years in the 1990’s, all when the temp hits about 26/27°. It could easily on any given year hit that mark in greater Orlando and many of those Cocos would die. I said what I said. Folks that know palms know I’m correct in saying that’s an amazing accomplishment to have Cocos growing so well there.
Love the garden🌴🌴
Yes, me too! Thanks!
Nice looking garden. I was in the Keys a week ago and it was great seeing some of the gardens there.
Yes, absolutely!
I live here, just 1.5 miles from Discovery Cove and we are Zone 10a. Zip 32821. I’ve have all these palms. I don’t know why you’re surprised.
