- Abstract
Since 2010, I have documented the presence of Roystonea regia naturalizing within the Emerson Point Preserve in Manatee County, Florida, approximately 160 kilometers (100 miles) north of the nearest habitat in the Fakahatchee strand, and 55.5 kilometers (34.5 miles) north of the northernmost vouchered population in DeSoto County. Additionally, palm hobbyists in North Carolina and Florida have used satellite imagery to identify a population of Sabal palmetto in Kure Beach, New Hanover County, North Carolina, that is 10 kilometers (6.21 miles) north of the northernmost historical population on Bald Head Island, Brunswick County, North Carolina. This article will discuss potential causes behind this northward expansion and provide photographic documentation of both groupings.
