Howea forsteriana - Wodyetia bifurcata Except for the next zone, I would say this zone has the most palms in it that can grow in southern California (assuming this is a cold hardy zone scale, and other hardiness parameters don't count)... This would be the equivalent, perhaps, of a California zone 10a (which has absolutely no relationship to a zone 10a in Florida).

Some palms that would fit in this zone include Acanthophoenix crinita, Actinokentia divaricata, Archontophoenix alexandrae, many of the Attaleas, Basselinia favieri and gracilis, Burretiokentia hapala, Caryota mitis, Caryota rumphiana, Ceroxylon quindiuense, Chamaedorea brachypoda, Chamaedorea hooperiana, Chamaedorea klotzschiana, Chamaedorea metallica, Chamaedorea nationsiana, Chamaedorea oblongata, Chamaedorea siefrizii, Chamaedorea stolonifera, Cryosophila warscewiczii, Cyphophoenix nucele, Dypsis ambositrae (not the real thing), Dypsis baronii, Dypsis decaryi, Dypsis leptocheilos, Dypsis utilis, Hedyscepe canterburyana, Howea belmoreana, Hyphaene coriacea, Hyphaene theibaica, Kentiopsis oliviformis, Laccospadix australasica, Licuala ramsayi, Linospadix monostachya, Livistona victoriae, Pinanga coronata, Pinanga gracilis, Prestoea 'montana', Pritchardia kaale, Pritchardia lanaiensis, Pritchardia minor, Pritchardia remota, Ptychosperma caryotoides, Ptychosperma elegans, Raphia farinifera, Ravenea glauca, Ravenea hildebrantii, Ravenea rivularis, Rhopalostylis baueri and sapida, Roystonea regia, Sabal mauritiiformis, Sabal yapa, Syagrus glaucescens, Syagrus sancona, Syagrus schizophylla and Trachycarpus latisectus to name a few. How I would compare all these to each other, I have no idea... I cannot detect any appreciable difference between them.
