There are over 2,800 species of Palm Trees and many are very cold tolerant for zone 8b . Here is a sunrise and palm on our island in Canada. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9if0RQqzvo
Put these in the gardening forums you will get more response. there also are palm forums. one site that I frequent is this, I don't have an account but do read what these guys post. Forums - PalmTalk
Maybe you could chime in on the CIDP surviving in Vancouver,
Versus Coconut palm surviving in Malta.
Would be good to have your expert opinion.
Here is a Phoenix canariensis growing 30 miles south east of Vancouver in my friend's garden. I shot this video on Sep 4, 2010 and this palm is much larger now. Brian planted this palm approx. 16 or 17 years ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_g3H5uXu3o
It's true you don't really see palm trees in Atlanta suburbs but there are. E.g., there are a few here and there in Carrollton, GA - mostly windwill. Apparently needle palms are even hardier and there are a few as well.
Earlier in this thread, the town of Coden, AL was brought up, with it's record low being used as evidence for a sort of "barrier" in the westward spread of the sabal palmetto.
I checked a streetview of the area, and see that there are some sabals growing quite nicely in the area wilderness (or at least property that isn't highly maintained): https://www.google.com/maps/@30.3785...7i13312!8i6656
Maybe sabals are spreading west after all?
