@SeanK can give you better advice since he lives in GA.

Sabal palmetto should be OK in North Georgia but might need occasional winter protection.  Trachycarpus fortunei (windmill palm) and Rhapidophyllum hydrix (needle palm) are other possible candidates but not the big ones in your photo (Phoenix canariensis or Canary Island date palm).  No palm is native anywhere near CT.  They can survive in the ground with a lot of winter protection.  Check out the following thread for techniques.

It's winter and I will order them thank you

Search Cold Hardy Palms for Bridgeport Sabal palmetto. I doubt you could do it up in Danielson or Putnam.

The guy in the photo is NOT planting palmettos in Connecticut/NYC area.

He is the owner of CT Palms, and they bring (mostly) potted plams to all the restaurants along the coast (and some of the rich people homes on the Gold Coast near Stamford/NYC) in the April to October time.  He collects them again in November.

The most northerly "native" palms on the East Coast (Sabal minor) occur in eastern North Carolina.

The main palm grown in CT/NYC/NJ is Windmill palms. There are a few palmettos growing in very protected spots (I actually have one growing)...including the one of the bigger ones at Bridgeport University (zone 7b). This palm is only protected with a frost cloth from Dec to early March.  I would guess this is really a zone 8a microclimate based on the large brick building and a few hundred feet to LIS:

From what I've seen...only the coastal areas near Long Island Sound (NYC/Long Island/coastal CT) i.e zone 7a/b are really the place a few plams will make it long term.

If you go with a b/b palmetto, it will need artificial heat for about 5 years.
