Hi fellow palmaholics,

I'm in Central Florida 3/4 mile away from the beach and have very salty sprinkler water and air.   I just picked up these palms from Homestead in South Florida:   Areca Vestiaria Red/Maroon,  Areca Vestiaria Orange, Kerriodoxa elegans, Cyrtostachys renda (I know...crazy.  I'll keep it in a pot and bring it in when temps drop), and Cryosophila staurcantha.   All (except C. renda) are intended to be planted in the ground and in the shade.   I'm worried mostly about their salt tolerance.    I can't do much about the salt air but I could plant them to avoid sprinkler water if I absolutely need to.   

Do any of you have some first-hand experience with saltwater and/or salt air tolerance of these guys?  Thanks so much.
