Hello, newbie here, about 25 miles west of Newport News, Va.  Looking to landscape in the spring and hoping to add some beautiful cold hardy palms.  I’ve been reading here with interest for a few weeks.  
Tonight I spotted these beauties in NN and just had to ask what they are — windmill palms? They are about 12’ to 15’ tall. We had some nights in the mid-20s over the last week and these palms look absolutely perfect—no brown on them anywhere!

Hello! and welcome to PT : ) 

 

And yes those are windmill palms. Theyre extremely cold tolerant and can take temperatures between 0F - 5F. Theyre a pretty common palm in Virginia and have seen them across the state as well into Maryland. You have a lot of options for palms being near the coast.

I saw a couple of them by a hotel by Oakhurst California ( near Yosemite) . They were covered in snow. I went back a year later around Easter and they looked great!!
