Default Re: Clean Kansas Palm

Mudcat,
If you are wanting a trunking palm, your best bet would be a Trachycarpus fortunei... It is listed to 7a with protection, so you would need to make sure you site it in an ideal location (south facing near wall), and you may have to protect it when temps drop below 10F. There are a few other palms that would work better in your area, but they are more clumping types... Let me know if I can help with anything you need... There is a guy in Little Rock that is big in Trachys that may have some smaller sized ones that he is selling, if you want to pot one up for another year or so, and then putting it out in the landscape... Let me know and I can forward you his e-mail....
Randy
