Hey Kris, happy to see this thread resurface once again.... I planted this phoenix back in 1973 in Sierra Vista Arizona, at an altitude of 4600'; this past winter it had it's most trying winter to date, when it saw two consecutive nights of 3F and 8F! The canopy was totally defoliated but as you can see, it's making a full recovery. This is the second severe test for the palm as it recovered from 6F back in 1978. On most years it experiences lows around 20F and has minor foliage damage. Cheers.... Jv

OK, Southern California folks, see that white rock? That's what you put out in front of your house instead of green lawns that drain the California aqueduc.

I planted 3 CIDP along my verge, I wanted something to protect my garden from the winds coming from that direction. They were planted approx 4-5 years ago when the area I live in was in it's development stages. On 2 separate occasions I awoke to find that first palm had been kicked out of the ground and lying in the gutter. Both times I just stuck it straight back in the ground and it is still alive!

Here's a pic around the time they were planted.

My favorite planting of CIDP at Asti winery in Northern California, Originally an Italian/Swiss colony formed in 1881. I think the palms were planted around the late 1890's

i love the CIDP at that size. there's a couple of them that i pass by couple times a week that are just a tad taller and look absolutely amazing how perfectly trimmed they are, as much as i'd love to grow one i don't think my small space can manage the full crown before it starts trunking. if i had the money to put into one that's already trunked and shaved i'd do it in a heartbeat

I personally find the CIDP to be amazing. Here it is growing in England of all places! How is it able to grow in England, when I would stand no chance at keeping one alive here in Toledo, Ohio (6B)? England is further north than Toledo, Ohio as well. Its a hop away from the Arctic Circle, but yet this CIDP looks as if it can't be bothered! Totally awesome!

Even though England is further north, it has a much more temperate climate than Ohio as it has the effects of the gulf stream keeping it warmer.

Oh, well that bites. Its pretty bad when England is warmer than Toledo, Ohio. Geez, I can't win. Ironically, the USDA websites shows the areas directly around the Great Lakes to be warmer than areas inland of the Great Lakes. So at least Toledo is a little warmer than if it were more inland. But, still nowhere as warm as England I'd imagine (judging from the size of that CIDP). Oh well, I can't wait until I can move to Orlando.

I wouldn't be able to keep one alive if we have a hard winter here in Northern England. We've had temps as low as -20c in the past. Tho the past few winters have been very mild!

How do these look so good with the cool rainy winter they have?

Wow. 46f daytime high in the winter that's very cold. And only 36f overnight. I'm impressed these do so well there!
