It's funny how some of the palms get named. The Birminghams are just Sabal minors that evolved - they are not really any different from the literature I've read. And there is a distinct difference between Sabal minor and Sabal minor 'Louisiana' that is impressive (the LA grow much faster and bigger - they also collapse at the end of the petiole, there's a term for it that I'm also drawing a blank on).

You have any other Trachs? I know the Windmills are the hardiest.

I just got the Betrock's Cold Palms book. For whatever reason, Bismarckia nobilis are not included in the book even though they are hardy, with no damage, down to 20 degrees.

Whatever. COOL YARD! Keep it up! GET MORE!

Sorry for the confusion with the initials (CIDP and not CIPD). Canary Island Date Palm... It was late and I had just got home from work and about to pass out... As far as the birmingham goes, I will have to respectfully disagree with you about it being a minor that has just evolved. Have you ever seen a minor this size?:
Sabal Birmingham

Have you ever heard of the Southeastern Palm Society? If not, you should check out their website and consider joining. We are having our fall meeting next Saturday in Knoxville and would love to have you join us. If you are interested in learning more about the society, pm me and I will give you some more info and details about the meeting on the 19th...
Again, thanks for the compliments!!!
BTW, I have a total of 5 Trachys in the ground and many more I have started from seed that are still potted up. I also have a few princeps as well as 3 new waggies!!!
