I'm in zone 6,but mine are in pots. I have some Bald Head island variety (supposedly very hardy) started but not ready for a zone 6 experiment yet. At some point I will throw one in the dirt. I have wondered about buying grown sabals and protecting over winter. They're not easy to come by here (Missouri) and shipping $$$$$$$$.

A full trunked one transplanted is likely to decline for you there as it can never get enough growth going to support the trunk/roots in the summers you have.  Better to start a small one if you have the patience.  You would be much better starting a Trachycarpus in the ground next spring if you haven't already.

If you live in a place that gets enough summer heat and you don’t mind protecting then go for it

Palms have herbaceous roots. They cannot tolerate the ground frozen for a whole month.
