Is Phoenix Dactylifera cold tolerant?
Yes. At least to Zone 8A. Honestly, we are still not sure just how hardy the palms are. We have had them installed on sites as far north as Hilton Head South Carolina for many years and though they have endured multiple hard freeze’s, many of which were in the teens, we haven’t lost a single one as a result. Some frond damage to be sure, but they have always recovered.
