Another Great Palm For Tampa Home Landscapes
April 19th, 2008 categories: Tampa Real Estate, South Tampa, Things To Do In Tampa
Palms are all over Tampa, but what most folks see are the species that are so commonly planted, and the ones that are native to Florida, such as our state tree, the cabbage palm. But there are many others that do well in our sub-tropical climate. And south Tampa, being surrounded by water, has a little more protection from the cold as compared to other, more outlying areas. I collect palms, and previously posted about another great palm for providing a tropical feel here in Tampa, the Picabeen, or Bangalow palm.
Another in my inventory, and one of my favorites, is the Chambeyronia Macrocarpa, aka the Red Feather palm. The great characteristic of this palm, and the reason behind the common name, is the beautiful red coloring of the newly opened leaves. Mine opens a new leaf about twice each year, so when it does, it’s time for an impromptu celebration. That time is now. Here are some pics:
If you’re looking for something different, and something that will add a tropical feel to your Tampa home, keep this one in mind.
Fairchild Tropical Gardens, south of Miami, has a great collection of these palms. Here is a link:

I love seeing photos of FL. I moved to Northern VA from St. Pete Beach. There is nothing that makes me feel more at home.
