whyatt palm website says CIDP are hardy to CT

This is the website advertising for a place called whyatt palms in branford ct. https://www.homewyatt.com/blank-asjyi

this is their cover page.de872a_5c8eea4bd93b40328cdb5151175d37cd-mv1.webp

at first i thought this was a palm rental place, but after noticing they spelled sabal wrong and claimed they were cold hardy to CT, i knew i was wrong

this is what they have to say about CIDP  notice it says CT yes which means they can live here.

then they have this picture of some well known palms for sale with many saying yes CT when they can barley live outside of of myrtle beach

I emailed the person to tell them what the zones really are, and have yet to get a response.  I even mentioned asking here if they did not believe me

on another note, here is the street view.  notice the windmills and other less hardy palms. https://www.google.com/maps/@41.2868952,-72.8066316,3a,75y,347.03h,84.26t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1skKY2IWal4xTV5aRQGA3NZQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!6m1!1e1

Jacey Wyatt is nuts. I don't believe any palms can survive a CT winter. If he/she sells palms as summer annuals or pot planted with intention that they be pulled up for winter storage... a lot of hassle but possible. In addition, this nimrod touts Cycas revoluta as a palm rather than a cycad.

Crazy indeed. I saw a cidp with a few feet of trunk in Ocean city Maryland today. It didnt look like the perennial queens everywhere else in town.  The only green palm i saw was a lone windmill.

That's hilarious!

They are a 9A at best. I wonder how many people buy these thinking they can grow it.

True, I guess the ones I've seen in 8b always look like they are struggling. But alive non the less.

Sort of like peddling blue spruces in Costa Mesa like what actually happened in the 80s.

Sabal minor/louisiana/etc. and Rhapidophyllum hystrix are the only palms truly capable of surviving in CT (coastal), I don't know why they aren't preferred over the "annuals". It's the same story here, although I've seen quite a few places selling Trachycarpus fortunei in recent years.

It's been a while but I remember seeing palms planted on waterfront estates in Greenwich.  I was very surprised to see anything resembling a palm in CT.
