if your average low is 4o's go for it.. i have mostly pindos here thats the closest thing to "true date palms" i have. they are hardy. this year i had no spear pull/crown freeze and we had two solid weeks of freezing and below freezing. i still feel ice in the p- stems of my bananas

get a date palm.. if i were you i would get a nice sized one and get it established so you wont have to baby it as much. believe me i had to nurse a few crown rotted young palms

maybe i will get a good sized canary island date palm in the future?

check your local flea market or farmers market for palms. i dont know where u live but i can go to Atlanta farmers market and get just about any type of palm i want, and get a good deal. i dont think i have ever paid over $20.00 for any palm. also better to see what u are buying.
