Anybody have any ideas for a Northern Virginia zone where the Arecaceae family is concerned? I tried an unknown garden variety one but with no success. I'm limited here but would like to round things out with a feather palm addition...so far, Trachy, needle, sabals McCurtain and brazoria and Mediterraneans are doing fine...any suggestions?

If you have space and 40 years, you can try the Chilean Wine Palm...

5 year high 42.2C/108F (07/06/2018)--5 year low 4.6C/40.3F (1/19/2023)--Lowest recent/current winter: 4.6C/40.3F (1/19/2023)

I grew up in N. VA and I can think of no pinnate palm that can survive winter there. Even the palmate palms you mention are not reliably hardy.

I thought that as well just not sure if there's some hybrid that can take it...if all the winters were like this past one, I might be in business...thank you for the reply...

Just figured out how to work this...hence my late response....ha!....have neither the space or time...I'll accept the fact that Northern Virginia is not pinnate territory...or I'll get a hybrid I can protect for a few years then watch it freeze...:(
