Thumbs down Christmas Palm Not Cold Hardy

We had a beautiful double Christmas Palm planted next to our pool, next to a lake in Sarasota, FL which is South of here and near the Gulf. All factors that should have protected it from the cold. We lost it in a killing frost after it was well established for about five years. Other palms like foxtails and pygmy dates survived. Plant a Christmas palm at your own risk. I wouldn't.
