There is a windmill palm 15 minutes from my house(zone 6) that i noticed 11 YEARS ago in southern Ohio. It has a huge trunk now its probably 7 feet of trunk or more. I finally grew the nerve to talk to the owner a few weeks ago and they have small ones for sale and other plants in a greenhouse. Ive always heard if you want a hardy one find a good northern source and not one from florida where the winters arent to bad. Id say seed grown trees from that tree should be really hardy. Next time i go down there ill try to get a pic of it!
