Have a 4' tall specimen been growing great year round... not even a hint of damage or slowing down when temps got 120F here!!  And this last weekend temps got down to 25-27F most places in the yard, though this plant is planted between two Italian Cypress... not a hint of damage.... even though Chamaedorea metallica planted under it was pretty badly scorched.

Just visited nearby nursery (1 week after the 'big one'): 2 5 gal plants, 2' overall height with a tiny bit of protection from a now fried King palm in a larger pot right next to them:  both have moderate to severe leaf damage from a low of 26F (no idea how long), but newest leaves and spikes look OK.  Was actually surprised to see these palms at a 'regular' plant nursery... not bad price, either... too bad both damaged.
