A new company has recently planted 4 huge Christmas palms in the west side of jax. they look really healthy with a full crown of leaves and thick trunk. The Google Maps photo (took the photo of the actual palms themselves), the Google Maps photo suggests they were planted after April. Will they, or at least one survive?

Not likely long term palms for Jacksonville.

Agree, they'll not survive below 28°F without protection.  I had a couple of smaller Adonidia survive 27°F wrapped up in Christmas lights plus they had some overhead canopy while these do not.

There are some threads on here in which people have posted palms that they've seen doing well there. There are some royals and foxtails doing okay there, but those are hardier than Christmas palms. It might depend on what the microclimate is like in that particular part of the city as well.

No. This was a total waste of time and money. And palms.

Westside of Jax....no chance!

Near the ocean it's a roll of the dice. West side? RIP 😞

That's going to be a difficult grow in that area.  There are several reasons Adonidia merrillii are called Christmas Palms.  One is because they tend to set red fruit around Christmas, the second is because, prior to the last 20 years here, they were usually dead by Christmas.

Proximity to the building may help but unlikely. I have a few soldiers that have made it far beyond expectation. I’m well south of that though.
