Judianni on Mar 01, 2015Hey Michele, There are two tree there...The tallest one is a palmetto palm tree; the one with growth all the way from top to bottom is a Norfolk Pine. There are several different types of palms in florida...the one you have is probably the most common.Helpful Reply

Douglas Hunt on Mar 02, 2015As the others have correctly stated, you have two trees in your photo, a Norfolk Island pine (Araucaria heterophylla) on the left and a sabal palm (Sabal palmetto), Florida's state tree, on the right. Young Norfolk Island Pines are not cold-tolerant, but we have many massive ones here in New Smyrna, where the temperature occasionally (but fortunately not frequently) gets into the 20s.Helpful Reply

Connie S on Mar 03, 2015It is a Norfolk, a very mature one. You can also have it identified by a county extension office. They can grow to over 90 feet tall. They have considerably shallow root systems compared to other pines. I wouldn't plant one. I would go for a native pine, long leaf, dade pine, etc.Helpful Reply

Cp C on Mar 04, 2015Comparing the first picture (mature NORFOLKS) with the image Michele posted... . I certainly see a difference... Maybe just the perspective, tho... Michele... Earlier I posted a link concerning the bark if it is a pine.. That might help you :)Helpful Reply
