The map at http://bonap.org/2015_SpecialtyMaps/Density%20Gradient%202015/original/2tax22_Palms.png suggests that Arkansas should be added and Nevada and Maryland removed.
cause we naturally think of the coastline states and get the two non-mainland states out of the way first... sometimes subconsciously. Or at least that's why I did, just in case.
Compared to most of the southeast, NC does not have nearly as much palm trees. States like SC, Florida, Georgia are all much more densely populated with palms. I’m from NC and I had to think about it for a second bc most of our palms are generally in parts of the OBX or other islands and coastal areas. They’re not nearly as common to see in the state. Some beaches plant them but that wouldn’t probably qualify under the “native” criteria
That does it! I'm planting a palm tree in Hoboken first thing tomorrow morning. Please add New Jersey. (I'll let you know as soon as it dies or gets stolen...which should be by the middle of next week)
