The has been accounts of this species of hardy palms growing in Canada and, more commonly, Switzerland. I wanted to replace the pine trees in my front yard with them.

    Probably, depending on how cold it gets where you are.
    A local palm supplier (http://coldpalms.com//palms.html) says they’re hardy down to 0F when covered.
