MEDITERRANEAN SURVIVALBILTY INDEX ZONE 5A: The Cold Frame Zone

From Palmpedia - Palm Grower's Guide
Jump to: navigation, search

This is a list I am starting, off the top of my head, of palms that are ALMOST hardy enough to live in a Mediterranean zone, and tend to do OK in some well controlled cold frames... but are really, in the long run, hopeless outdoors in any but a tropical or excellent subtropical climate (like US East coast).

Aiphanes minima Areca concina, guppyana, vestiaria Borassus aethiopium, flabillefer and madagascariensis Corypha utan Licuala aurantiaca, distans, grandis Pritchardia pacifica (I know I listed this above, but really it is a cold frame plant)
