Halifax Palm Tree Experiment Ends Due to Harsh Winters

Halifax's six-year experiment with palm trees ended this spring when the last two surviving trees failed to bloom. Initially planted in 2018, nine trees across four parks couldn't withstand Halifax's harsh winters. Despite efforts to protect them, only two windmill palms remained, declared dead in April. While no plans for similar experiments exist, Halifax continues to explore biodiversity in its green spaces, opting for heartier tree species.
