Northwest Palms Discussion Board
Welcome! The Northwest Palms Board is dedicated to the discussion of growing palms and other subtropicals
in the Pacific Northwest and other similar climates. Don't think palms can be grown in the Pacific
Northwest? Think again! These pictures are pretty convincing: images of Palms in the Northwest.
