If you could only have three diferent kinds of palms in your yard what would they be?

Trithrinax campestris

Palms that can actually survive 5 yrs+:

Jubaea X Syagrus

Washingtona robusta X filifera

Trachycarpus "Manipur" - that is, if it lives up to expectations.

But these are long-term longshots for my area.

I am almost certain none of these will grow where I live, but I will list them anyway...

Washingtonia filifera
Phoenix canariensis

OK, third one is a toughie... Either W. robusta or Syagrus romanzoffiana. I like both of those about equally, also maybe P. dactylifera, but none of the three as much as W. filifera or P. canariensis.

In reality, I would just be thrilled to successfully grow Trachycarpus here. The Nampa car dealership palms give me hope, esp. since Boise, about 300 feet higher than Nampa, does not get as cold during the inversions.

In case anyone finds themselves in the Boise-Nampa area and was wondering where they are, the car dealership with the palms is on 11th Ave in Nampa. Easiest access from Boise is Exit 39 (Garrity Blvd). Take a left (south) and follow Garrity Blvd all the way to 11th Ave and then left. Once on 11th Ave, the car dealership is on the right. There are two palms standing about 8 or 10 feet tall on the street, and four or five smaller ones elsewhere on the lot. Most of the rest of the vegetation on the lot are flowering pears and Alaskan cedars.

My favourite cold hardy palms would be W.Filifera,Jubaea Chilensis and Syagrus Romanzoffianum.Both my Butia Capitata and Phoenix Sylvestris could be later candidates but at the moment they both look like small P.Canariensis !!!!LOL

If I could have any 3 palms in the word growing out in the yard, my picks would be:

Cyrtostachys renda (Red Sealing Wax Palm)
Licuala grandis
Pinanga sp Sawawak "Blue Seed".

None are, of course, remotely cold hardy and would never make it outdoors here in zone 8B. But since this is an "I wish..." thread, what the heck??
