anyone had luck with a Mazari Palm?

My climate is similar to that of Afghanistan ( its native range )

So i am thinking of trying one.

There are a handful around town here that are doing well, but I don’t have one. I think it’s probably a tough sell for central Utah. You would still probably need to protect it in winter though they are pretty hardy.  I’m sure they’d do fine in St. George but I’ve never noticed any there.

I have seen a few good size specimens in Texas over the years, but they aren't common. From what I understand, the green form is more cold tolerant, if you can find it.

I don't know that it will survive most places in Utah, but you don't know until you try. You certainly have the dry and sunny climate to try to push one to it's limits.

Good luck with it.

Out of all of the seedlings I'm trying to grow, they've been some of the most difficult. Too cold, too wet, too dry, too hot. Everything seems to bother mine.

Hmm, I'm in Saint George. Maybe I should give it a try. Where could I find a Mazari?

I can find plenty of those in San Antonio .  I think I'm getting one I just need to find a nursery that sells them.

They can survive single digit temperatures, however, they do suffer... How cold does it get where you are at? Does it rain a lot in winter? Soil type?
