Temperate and..subtropicals.

Will it grow in zone 8

The red Liquidamber will. So will ( I think) the Canary Island Pine to the far left.
In the middle I forgot to mention is an Avocado tree.

The avocado tree is in between the Liquidamber and the Washingtonia robusta, right?

They are all gorgeous what is the name of the one with dying spikey leaves Stan? There is one like that growing not far from here in a front garden its a beauty and big.

Yep,the middle ones fountain of foliage is the Avocado,Andy.
Penny,I dont see anything spiky.

The two that tower over the building Stan

The fan palms? Washingtonia robusta. They are drought tolerant palms..the skirt is supposed to help the palm conserve water.
If you mean the big silver one in the middle? Its the worlds biggest and most modern Christmas tree! Sculptural-ha.

Thank you Stan its the Fan Palm I was asking about.

I know. The more I looked at that tower..the more it reminded me of a Charlie Brown Christmas where he laments "the commercialism of Christmas"..all that tower need is lights and tinfoil and star to be a giant version of what Charlie Brown hated.

Lol Stan that would be funny
