I agree with the first two, maybe three, but have a very hard time believing a palmetto would survive in St. Louis without serious protection! I am gonna try one again, but think I a pushing my limit a little to much but will give it another shot!!!! Just don't think soil temps in St. Louis will stay warm enough, long enough to support a palmetto and promote growth. May be able to keep one alive for a few years, but long term, just think it will decline quickly...
