Get the biggest plant you can afford and make sure to protect it in winter for the first 3 years at least. Mine took a beating this year though they survived. Some years even with the best protection in our zone you may as well consider them a "deciduous palm". A needle palm might be a better choice, after the brutal winter we just had that one came through for me with no damage at all. Good luck with yours.
