Christmas palms are beautiful palms. Extremely easy to care for, self shedding so you never have to trim anything except the seed pods. We had three triples at our house in Key Largo. I really wanted to plant them here, but we get a little too cold in the winter. My neighbor put some in last summer. This past winter many of the fronds were damaged by the cold. Last week the last of the damaged fronds fell off and they look great again - just in time for another winter. Last winter was pretty mild. It’s a real gamble planting them here.
