I have two in 14" clay pots about 2' tall, no trunk. They saw 27°F for two nights from under an overhang on the South side of my house in McKinleyville Ca. No damage at all so far.

Have one outdoors under large oaks. Tolerated a low of 21 degrees with only minimal tip burning on leaflets, nearby queens were 90-100% defoliated. Much hardier than given credit for and IMO as hardy as P. robellini.

This is my observation after the arctic air mass that moved over most of the U.S. during the first 2 weeks of December 2013. The palm is located in the SF Bay Area Zone 9B.

My Lytocaryum Weddellianum is about 4 feet tall from ground to tallest frond, not trunking, and only been in the ground 5 months when this freeze hit. I checked a few different reports on the lowest temperature for my area and they ranged from mid to low 20's. With that said I'll say the coldest night got down to 25F +/- a degree. Every night was below freezing for a full week. About half of those nights had frost. I didn't cover it with any protection, but it had partial cover from a maple that still had some leaves.

I waited a month to see any damage, but I'm happy to say the palm looks mostly green and healthy. Overall I'm happy with this palm.

Two palms succumbed to a low of 20F with 24 consecutive hours below freezing in 2017.  Both were covered, but were not well established.  Damage was obvious and immediate.

L. Weddellianum suck.  I lost more mature plants this year at 23F inside a cold frame while hoehnei right beside it wasn't even phased.  B. Alfredi beside it had a little spear burn. One Allagoptera Caudescens beside the L. Wedd died, the other one lived.

Here's my tiny in-ground L. weddellianum which did OK this past winter without any significant frost damage. It's positioned between my never-say-die-but-barely-growing Ceroxylon amazonicum and my in-ground Rhapis humilis. All these palms live outside adjacent to my sunroom, under a wide roof overhang that gets filtered morning and afternoon sun.
