Cold Tolerant Palm List
Since more and more people are becoming palm enthusiasts all over the world, more information is being collected about certain palms. Some palms that were once thought to be not so cold tolerant are now being reported to be more adaptable to colder climates. We will continue to add more known cold tolerant palms as we get testimonies. If you have a testimony please let us publish it here. (click to email)
