Awesome, thank you. I will have to take you up on a few shoots! Emerald and Baby Blue!?! Very nice. Dendrocalamus validus seems very interesting as well and what does your triple hybrid look like?

Triple hybrid. They say it was developed for better edible shoot production. I haven't tried it yet. It does have beautiful coloring for a few years before it fades.

Dendrocalamus validus...one of my favorites. 5 inch culms and nearly 50 feet tall!!!

Thank you Eric for those lists. That is pretty much my experience in 9b Northeast FL. My low was 23 degrees last winter. Based on my experience I will add these palms to your

" Good hardy palms"

Brahea dulcis

Brahea nitida

Calamus caryotoides ( low 20s in CA and anxious to try in FL)

Caryota gigas (under canopy, my hardiest caryota)

Chamaedorea radicalis

Chrysalidocarpus decipiens (summer is the problem with this one)

Chuniophoenix nana

Phoenix pusilla

Syagrus campylospatha

Syagrus (Lytocaryum) hoehnei

Trachycarpus fortunei

Trachycarpus latisectus

Trachycarpus wagnerianus

To add to the second category "more cold sensitive palms for protected locations"

Allagoptera (Polyandrococcos) caudescens

Chamaedorea elegans

Chamaedorea cataractarum

Chamaedorea klotzschiana

Ravanea glauca (R. glauca has shown no damage under canopy in winters with 25 degrees low temp, where R. rivularis has taken a big hit)

Pseudophoenix sargentii (my neighbor had one under oak canopy for 10+ years, it died last winter. It was trunking, overall height of 10 feet) My little totally exposed 12 inch tall plant recovered)
