Growing Pygmy Date Palms in Brandon
Brandon is USDA Zone 9b and sits well inland, so it sees more frost nights than Tampa's bayfront and the occasional hard freeze in a cold year. Cold-hardy palms like Queen, Sylvester, Pindo and Mule are the smart choice, with tender tropicals kept to protected spots near the house. With no salt exposure, hardy hedges and flowering trees like Ligustrum, Viburnum and Crape Myrtle do very well here.
