Friends are touring France and sent this pic of a magnificent specimen.
Yes, all the potted palms are brought in for winter.

Wow...Wonder where this giant fits in winter.

Friends sent another pic.
I'm impressed with the quantity and quality of palms on display in Paris...

I love it there. They bring them in the govt. buildings for the winter months. There are sooooo many trachies al laround Europe any more, such a regular sight. Great pics!!
