what are these beautiful purple shafted palms and how cold tolerant are they?

Satakentia? other members will know for sure, and probably chime in soon.

I agree. Satakentia. I think they can take around 32-35f before they start showing some damage.

The closely-spaced leaf rings indicate Satakentia. Mine survived 26 F, but with considerable leaf damage. I don't consider them permanent.

Yes indeed these are Satakentias. And they will easily take very low 30's when mature and established in the ground. There's many, many large ones all throughout Broward and Dade county.

How does their range compare to the coconut?

I found them slightly more hardy then a coconut but burn from frost easily.
