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!

Do they have like a site or somewhere they sell their Palms? I had two this past winter, but didn't protect them well at all. Had some family issues at the beginning of winter and didn't get them protected correctly, and I may have lost them both, as both had spear pull.
I recently bought some seeds to grow, but wouldn't mind finding a source up here in Ohio to get a Palm or two.
