Answer 1

I would argue with the word "naturally"!! These are NOT native plants, as you will see from reading further. They have been imported and planted there. While it is nice to know that the winters there are mild enough that they are surviving FOR NOW, since they are cold-hardy palms, I would not be all that optimistic. We've tried that here in Delaware as well, but there is usually a good long cold snap every 5 - 10 years that does them in. Sorry!

But, to answer your question:

"The tallest palm on the British Columbian mainland was planted on Rumble St. in Burnaby in 1968. It is now 25 ft tall towering over an adjacent home "

"There is a tall old palm in Stanley park located near to where the old Monkey Cages use to be. Other palms have been added to keep it company. There is a very tall old one on Rumble St. in Burnaby that is pushing 30'ft. Also in the back alley just off of Cambie between 46th and 48th there is a 30 footer. "

Answer 2

Of course it is a trick question, there are no palm trees in Canada, at least not in a natural growing habitat, the weather does not permit it.

Answer 3
