A visit to An unusual garden in Parsippany-Pics
18 years ago
I visited John H. in Parsippany(Morris County), who has large palms and Camellias in his yard. These include Trachycarpus fortunei, Butia capitata, Sabal palmetto, Washingtonia filifera, Sabal minor, S. louisiana, and Rhapidophyllum hystrix. All but the last three receive winter protection and artificial heat.
Base of S. palmetto.
