There is something exotic about palm trees with their unique foliage, bark, and overall appearance. When we picture these trees, we think of dry and hot climates or tropical areas, like California, Florida, or a desert oasis. However, there are many cold hardy palms that grow in the most unexpected places, and you don’t have to have a home in the south to grow them. There are also palm trees that grow as shrubs, trees that love growing in the heat beside a pool, and palms that are easy to grow in a container indoors. So, even if you reside in a region most commonly suited for hardy pine trees, it’s still possible to liven your yard with a palm or two.
