3-4 months in an enclosure, shouldn’t be too bad and we have very hot and sunny days during the summer.

You don’t need days… you need months. Months where the nightly lows are in the 70’s and days are 90+.  That’s sabal growing and thriving weather. But also recovery weather. 
 

good luck 👍

Two-Three months dry and hot, definitely has gone above 100 F before. One month still hot but doesn't go above 85-87 F.

I’m very familiar with northern weather. It’s nothing like the heat where sabal’s are from and require to really grow “quickly” . Even in California they grow slower because the night time temps drop significantly unlike the south east. I’ll go to work at 4am and it’s still in the mid 70’s. My sabal’s are already pushing growth but don’t really speed up until the night time temps are warm up. 
 

just trying to tame your expectations.

Below is a photo from a population south of Ures. The elevation is on the lower side, and they grow near creeks and rivers. Brahea is found at higher elevations in the same general area.
