Two type of palms for local gardeners

One group of trees long associated with drought and desert conditions is the palm tree. You can also find palms doing perfectly well in equatorial rain forests.

Here in Central Texas, we happen to have both of these climates. Some years we have drought. Others we have rain aplenty.   

To complicate this further, we have winters where temperatures fall into the teens and single digits. Are any palm trees so incredibly versatile and adaptable that they can handle such variations in temperature and climate? Thankfully… yes!
