Here is a link to a thread from another forum, palm forum, that contains pics of CIDPs in zone 8 FL. Thought this might show better long term survivorability in zone 8....

Whoever is fast enough up the trees - usually the children of the neighbourhood.

I germinated a lot of C.A.D.P. seeds and they grew 1' tall and made it through the winter outside. Lost the lot when I went out of town and let them dry to a crisp in their little pots (cups).
I planted one from a member this year, and it grew very well, but turned brown after the artic blast.

We have grown a lot of the spiny monsters in the past fron seed that was local. The Christmas packs of dates from Israel have been pasturised and the seeds therefore will not grow. If you can find packs of unpasturised dates you can grow palms from them easily.

I was told by the gents @ PalmtreesofHouston that their "Silver Medjool Hybrids" can handle 8-9F for less than 24 hours... What you guys think about that?

Could be. The true Medjools here are hardy to about 2 C but then again we rarely see that.

Well 8-9F is -13 to -12C..... We might see those temps about every 30 years or so.. if that. I think its a lil stretchin' of the truth for the palms ability to survive that. I can see survival w/protection but not without. Medjools are suppose to be good to 18-19F.. Sylvesteris to 22F.. ? CIDP's 20F but they all get leaf burn in the low 20's...
Pindo's Rock :^) 15F w/ windchill of 0F
