Seems to do just fine. Its on the beachside. I grabbed some ripe seeds off it. Rare to see them fruiting this far north.

Oooo, that's a real show stopper right there! Hyophorbe verschaffeltii is such a unique looking palm, and I hear their easy to take care of as well. Seeing it grow this tall in a 9B climate gives me hope. I also have a Spindle palm growing in a 9B climate, though one further south and inland. I wonder how old that tree is? I know their slow growers, so do you think this survived a heavy Florida winter like the one in 2010? If so Spindles might be tougher than I thought.

We had one in Lakeland down on Lake Hollingsworth and it kicked the bucket after the 2009-2010 winter.
