Default Re: Washingtonia robusta growth in the Little Rock suburbs

Filifera's are much less moisture tolerant than robustas, which is why you only see robustas in the south. They can easily survive 10 degrees if kept dry, but will not do too well during cold wet winters. I would keep them away from moisture starting ate september so they are completely dry by the time really cold weather comes.
