Was the person suggesting it as cold hardy selling them? Very bad choice, unless in a screened in lanai or pool deck.

Seems to be several landscape outfits (many staffed with people from up north, S. Fla. and with either no horticultural education, or no scruples... selling people Christmas , Bottle, Foxtail Areca and other sub tropical palm trees. Before you spend hundred or even thousands on these palms, buy Betrock's Cold Hardy Palms. Is easy to understand, and extremely accurate. Landscaping your neighbors house or a nice advertising budget doesn't mean your landscaper isn't steering you wrong.
