Florance, SC Palms?

What are some good, bulletproof palms for Florance SC? I have been in the area and mainly saw Windmills, palmettos, and Butias. Anymore that don't get cold damage there? Also would you consider a Sabal palmetto fully hardy there (Zone 8a)? According to the USDA Interactive map the averge minimum winter tempatures in the area are from 12 degrees F to 14 degrees F. I am just asking about places in the South East to get an idea of what is grown there.

PTD-

I can tell you that since 1988, Florence has been a stop on my trips up north and back south either to visit Florida or to come back from visiting friends up north. I usually get gas there or stay overnight, it is sort of the halfway point to NYC. I have noticed over the years that Butias, Windmills and S. palmetto seem pretty hardy here. I would venture that Needles would be fine, as well as S. minor, etonia, etc. I'm not sure what else would be longtime hardy there, but you could try Jubaeas there, I would say that area has a similar climate to Dallas.

Record low is 0F (01/21/1985), and it's in the Southeast with plenty of heat in the summer.  I'd say:

  1. Sabal Minor
  2. Rhapidophyllum Hystrix
  3. Trachycarpus sp.
  4. Sabal Palmetto (protected locations + hardy ecotypes)

Lakeland, FL: USDA Zone 2023: 10a  2012: 9b  1990: 9a | Record Low: 20F/-6.67C (Jan. 1985, Dec.1962)

    At this point I would probably consider locally grown and hardier ecotype palmetto fully hardy there, I see they publicly plant them there, after doing some research. The rest seems right. They got Butia too.
