Southern California experience: This is one of two species of Chuniophoenix, and though it is the larger one, it is by far the more slow-growing. Palms take many years to even reach 4' in height, which is only 1/2 or less of their potential height. It is surprisingly cold tolerant handling temps in the mid 20Fs for extended periods of time with little or no damage. I don't think the true low temp is known yet.
