Big Leafed Sabal

[Guest Keith in Zone 9]

I'd like to place one of the big-leafed Sabals (i.e. causiarum, maritima, domingensis) across the pond from the house. I'm in Jacksonville, FL so it should be a species that will recover from a night in the mid teens every once in a while (say every quarter century or so). I'd "make do" with a nice, blue Sabal uresana as a substitute. Also, it needs to be a pretty large plant because the *%^$ing Armadillos dig things up. If you are located in FL, or in one of the SE US states, it'd be better. Let me know,

Sincerely,

Keith

Keith,

Didn't you pick up an S. domingensis at the FCPS meeting at Dr. Wilcox's? Armadillo take it out?
