Mo one argue with you? LOL!!! You can't expect to put a list of palms up like that and NOT expect an argument. Personally, I think you are just trying to start an argument, because anyone who has grown palms in zone 7 for a few years and has experimented with those palms can tell you that none of them are reliably hardy to zone 7a, with the possible exceptions of Rhapidophyllum, Sabal minor, and maybe S. sp. 'Birmingham', and that's only after being established for several years first. I have personally lost Rhapidophyllum (the main trunk) in a zone 7 winter due to cold. I would love to see some pictures, especially of the 10-15 feet tall Trachycarpus fortunei that are all over southern Michigan.
