scottland...I read it online. Has something to do with the N. Atlantic Drift. Anything east of the rockies is too cold until you get past iceland. Since I live in Texas, I planted one in my front yard about 2 years ago. A dwarf actually meant for meaner climates of the desert, but it is doing quite well despite that we are semitropical here.
Hello! I live in Oregon, about an hour from the coast, two hours south of Portland and the house we nearly moved to has palm trees in the back yard. I remember seeing the occasional palm tree up in my home state of Washington as well. I have a feeling they can grow just about anywhere, but research is always the safest bet, along with talking with knowledgeable staff at your local plant nurseries before making a purchase.
The link listed below is a very thorough site that lists a variety of palm trees and their cold tolerance temperatures -- really handy! If you click on the latin names you'll get pictures and descriptions.
I've seen them in Crimea, that's UKRAINE.
Furthest to North - 45 Degrees Latitude, but that's probably because the place was close to the sea and warmer than the usual.
my parents live in florida and there is ton of palm trees there ,i live on a beach and i don't even have a tree of any kind just the beautiful ocean and sand
Some varieties thrive in zone 3. I think they're "Saban" or "Sabal" something like that.
I live north of latitude 48 degrees in the US Pacific Northwest, and some people here (and even some places like McDonalds!) have palms--not coconut palms but the kind with fan-shaped fronds, and the plants stay out all winter. I think there are palm trees that are VERY cold-hardy as long as the other factors like type of soil, drainage, and light are okay--cold is not the only thing to consider. As another answerer said, do your research and consult a knowledgeable nursery person. Also, since palms are pretty distinctive-looking, think how they will look with the architectural style of your home.
