Pulling out of the parking lot I snapped this photo very quickly before leaving. My favorite palm tree!

I’m interested in learning the different palm trees, they are all so pretty. You said the real tall palm in the photo is also a canary palm? The leaves look different.
Is the tall one a date palm as well, or is it a coconut? I didn’t know date palms could get that tall. Don’t know too much about these trees They’re kind of rare up our way.
They are all Canary’s. Palm trees are not native to this valley but they grow super well, easily tolerate the slightly cold weather too. I don’t think many folks know this!
Thanks for that. I’d never heard the “Canary” part of the name either. Live and learn!
The name comes from the Canary Islands located off the west coast of Africa.
I know where the Canary Islands are – I just didn’t know that there were date palms with that name. Maybe they came from there originally?
