 Above: A planting with very cold hardy Windmill Palm used as a small evergreen tree on the corner of the house in the Brices Creek area of Craven County, NC. The palm has yellow flowers in spring followed by blue fruit in fall. The Windmill palms are underplanted with the NC native Dwarf Palmetto Palm and Knockout roses. In the left background is the NC Native Sabal palmetto with dwarf red Crape Myrtle to the right and tree-form Tuscarora Crape Myrtle in the far background.

Green Giant Arborvitae. Much better choice than Leyland Cypress for Eastern, NC. These stood up just fine during Hurricane Irene while Leyland Cypress were blown over.

New palm planting around pool in Onslow County.
NC container grown cold hardy palms; Butia odorata, Sabal Birmingham, Sabal Brazoriensis and Windmill Palm. Since they are container grown by Gary's Nursery from very hardy seed stock these palms will take off growing immediately and there will be no long recovery period as when B&B palms are planted.
