Probably a topic for another thread (or site), but what are you two thinking about palms? My list of suitable palms is...Washingtonia filifera, W. robusta, Phoenix dactylifera, P. canariensis, Brahea armata, B. clara, Sabal uresana, Trachycarpus fortunei, Chamaerops humilis, and Butia capitata. Possibly Bismarckia and Queen palm, but they are borderline.
i don't think either of you will have any tubal finding palms to grow in Vegas the queen palm dos vary well here i know i have one Chamaerops humilis (Mediterranean Fan Palm Archontophoenix Cunninghamiana (king palm) Brahea Armata (Blue Hesper Palm) Brahea Edulis (Guadalupe Palm) Butia Capitata (Pindo/Jelly Palm) Cycas Revoluta (Sago Palm) Neodypsis Decaryii (Triangle Palm) Phoenix canariensis (Canary Island Date Palm the most exspesiv Palm in Vegas) a mature specimen could run u over a 1000$ Phoenix Reclinata (Reclinata Palm) Phoenix Roebelenii (Pygmy Date Palm) rather exspesiv here Trachycarpus Fortunei
(Windmill Palm) Phoenix Dactylifera (Date Palm) that should get you started most do quite well here there are defiantly other that you could try but those are the one you see all over Vegas pleas don't think I'm all that with palms i had to look most of thees up because I'm not one of those people that knows all the scientific names I'm not all that interested common names are good enough for me thats why i never know what you all are talking about until i look them up i suddenly realized i put some in that you did o well I'm not going to edit it now to much work
