i live in west Texas so i'm sure you can guess how hot it gets here. (113°) my majesty palm is not doing well in health and i don't think it will make it through the summer. if it dies i will get a new one. need suggestions for palms that won't burn to a crisp. i know date palms in all but im not sure of any others and im trying to fine other options. love to hear you suggestions!

I’m new here but my research into Medemia argun suggests it could be a good choice for hot desert conditions, just depends how cold you get there and if you get wet when you get cold. I understand these guys tolerate seasonal low average temps of at least 10 - 5 degrees Celsius at night so it could be an option. There is a bit of a story to go along with the palms history and ‘re-discovery’, enjoy 😊

Washingtonia fiifera

Brahea armata

Nannorhops ritchiana

Chamaerops humilis "cerifiera"

Sabal uresana

Sabal mexicana

Those are what I would try, without understanding how much cold and for how long it lasts in your area.

Just out of curiosity, how often does it go up to 110+ F and for how many days usually?
