Do Coconuts Grow In Florida
I agree RedRabbit! There are a few in New Smyrna Beach, but they are not long term (pre-2010) survivors, at to the lowest degree the ones I am enlightened of. The climate does change significantly between Cape Canaveral and NSB. The northern limit of native tropical flora (widespread and not a few freeze stunted specimens) is in the vicinity of, or just north of Cape Canaveral/Merritt Island, so this makes sense every bit far as Cocos become.
Every bit for the west coast, I agree with Tarpon Springs right on the embankment every bit roughly the theoretical northern long term (10-20 years) limit of Cocos. I am not familiar with the beaches nearest the Tarpon Springs area, so this is but a judge. Might need to move my blueish line only a smidgen due north. I'm sure Anclote Key Preserve State Park could back up Cocos long term. For this island in particular, I recollect a prolonged winter arctic event rather than a substantial freeze would be the limiting gene in the long term. 2010 would have almost certainly killed any Cocos if they had been planted on Anclote Key, surrounded by all the chilly Gulf of Mexico water. Conversely, the two Kopsick Cocos in St. Pete survived 2010, but looked pretty rough for a while afterward.
As for where Cocos is bulletproof (most not being killed during the worst freeze expected in a 100 + year menstruum), I would say right on the immediate Declension from Fort Myers Beach southward and on the immediate declension from Palm Beach southward. Nowhere on the South FL mainland that isn't immediately coastal, except peradventure spots on the SE shore of Lake Okeechobee (or the middle of a slough like the Fakahatchee, where they have no business organization being anyways). Merely that's no fun.
