[Meangreen94z]

Your 9a is not Bay Area's 9b even. Much warmer,humid in Galveston. I've seen photos of Royal palms and huge Dypsis lutescens in Galveston..Mangoes too.
The greenhouse was a zone 14.

Yeah, there are Royal Palms outside Moody Gardens. I didn’t get a chance to photograph them. The Dypsis Decaryi above are comparable to Royals in hardiness. Galveston is a true 9B. The ice storm of January 2018 saw temperatures of 18-19*F for Houston, and 15*F North and West of Houston(including Peckerwood Gardens). Galveston though only hit 25*F, the beauty of being surrounded by water.
