Re: drought and salt tolerant palms
I can thoroughly recommend *Sabal maritima. *I have an avenue of these and with a name like "maritima" I presume it is very salt tolerant ! All have thrived

Re: drought and salt tolerant palms
Try the Nypa palm of Southern Asia where there is enough water and Allagoptera arenaria from Brazil. I think most Braheas are tolerant of salt as well.

H Dirk, I have a 35' Washingtonia robusta that I have never watered, not even one drop, from the day a raandom bird dropped a stray seed. Gary Fallbrook, Calif
