Let me know what you think and/or if you know of any other Sabal palmettto or Trachys in southern Oklahoma. The climate seems suitable for Sabal palmetto, so it is not a huge shock that they can grow there, it is more of a shock that they actually are grown there and that there are some big specimens, quite a few! I am not sure if they were transplanted or planted as young specimens, but they certainly are large and healthy-looking, and the same goes for the Trachys. I am quite surprised that no one has posted about this before. They clearly like palms and probably planted them to attract visitors and give the casinos that "tropical" look. At first, I assumed it was a photo of a resort in Florida or along the gulf coast, but then I did some more searching and it really is in Oklahoma! Not just that, but another Choctaw Casino in the town of Grant, Oklahoma also has big Sabal palmetto! Choctaw Casinos are a chain of eight Native American-owned casinos throughout Oklahoma, three of which are also resorts. While searching for some cultivated palms in the towns of southern Oklahoma, I was incredibly surprised to find a photo of some quite large Sabal palmetto and Trachys at the Choctaw Casino in Durant, Oklahoma.
