I think they like sandy soil and hot dry summers. Central Nevada would work for them, because of the dry cold, but I do not think they like damp cold at all.

OK, by damp cold~does that include snow? Cause if it does, they just wouldn't survive way up here.

I think ND would REALLY be stretching it; this far up the east coast is still really stretching it. Maybe if you are in extreme SE ND (zone 4?) and you place it next to your foundation, and you wrap lights around it, and you very carefully enclose it, then maybe it would have a shot... maybe.

I'm in southeastern So. Dak. Does that change things or does it still not feasible?

I refuse to tell you it cannot be done because many people have told me that... and now my beach house looks like its in South Carolina! If you protect, protect, protect, then maybe a needle palm would survive there. All of my plantings are in a chilly zone 7 (from new 2005 Arborday map), what zone are you in (on the new map)? I'm guessing 4b?
On the east coast, you could go to about Washington DC, maybe 50 miles south and grow a palm tree. On the west coast, you can go all the way up to Washington and Oregon for growing palms!

HMMMM, I don't know, but I checked out a map and I'm in the dark blue zone. It's southern So. Dak. and northern Ia., etc. Here's the link. The wording is too small for me to read.

OK, that map is easier to read then mine. When I entered my zip code, it showed a green area and a blue area north of it. I'm in the green. It says zones 4-5 so could I assume that I'm in zone 4?
