Trying one this year in zone 8b Alabama, it's probably going to die like all Phoenixes that I have tried have but it's worth a shot. 

Favorite palms: Pindo/Jubaea/Mule variants, Large Sabals Climate: High humidity subtropical Lowest seen: 16F throughout the day Soil type: Heavy red southeastern clay

Yes but it has yet to grow larger than 1 strap leaf. So far it seems hardy ish but it’s also hard to tell when it’s close to the ground. I’m not holding my breath on any phoenixes here.
