I always heard palm trees met a cruel fate in Texas? Unless you lived more coastal there.

That's Lake Travis... I took one of my North Carolina friends there last year and he refuses to believe it was a lake and not an ocean . It's crystal clear and aquamarine colored, just gorgeous. And there's a species of palm trees that's actually native to Austin, it's name escapes me at the moment. People are alway so surprised at how Austin looks... it's more similar to Southern California or the Mediterranean in it's appearance and climate than it is to Texas .
