My Fox tails do o.k. I have lost two. It gets in the 40's at night in the winter (way to cold). They are more finicky than other palms. Queen palms do great but are very common. I like to grow many types. I have Neodypsis decaryi (Triangle palm), Rhapis Excelsa, Licuala Ramsayi, Coccothrinax, Kentia, Dypsis Lanceolata, Fish Tail, Bismarckia nobilis, Hyophorbe verschaffeltii (Spindle palm), King palms, Hawaiian fan palm and Majestic palm. I find it hard to have only one type of a plant.

Many do well its just that the foxtail would rather be further down in southern California (less cold). All the other varieties I listed above have done well at my house.
