Utah’s second In-N-Out will open later this year in Draper, which sits south of Salt Lake City and north of Provo. Because of its location in ski country, there’s concern that the company’s iconic crossed palm trees won’t survive, chain spokesman Carl Van Fleet told the Deseret News. When reporter Jacob Hancock (jokingly?) suggested crossed oak trees, Van Fleet replied, “I don’t think so.”
The state’s first In-N-Out opened last year in the city of Washington. It’s hundreds of miles south of Draper, but the company appears to have skipped the palm trees there too, judging by photos of the location on flickr: Exhibit A, Exhibit B, Exhibit C, Exhibit D.
The Draper In-N-Out is scheduled to open in late summer or early fall.

The INO in Sunnyvale, CA has a metal sculture of two crossed palm trees, presumably because the city did not feel real palm trees were appropriate for the site. Seems like this would be a good solution for Utah.

The Washington, Utah location does have the crossed palms. Palm trees grow all over Southern Utah. Washington is located next to St. George on the Arizona border.

As I previously posted in another entry, palm trees won’t handle the cold and snow very well. They may want photos or fake palm trees.

lol… crossed oak trees, laugh of the day :D
yeah but palm trees can’t live in draper or orem or any of the other new spots… wonder what they’ll do?
The only thing i’m not excited about when in n out comes to northern UT is that going there won’t be special anymore… but i think that’s won over by how nice it’ll be to see them smoosh Chadders. :)
