Sumter County Master Gardeners do not recommend Roebeleniis; they require warmer winters than we have here. We had a roebelenii that died in the deep freeze we had in early 2018.
Assuming you want a shorter palm (roebeleniis top out about 12 feet), the master gardeners recommend pindos and European fans (both 15 ft), and Lady palms (best in shade) and dwarf palmettos (both 8 ft). We now have a pindo in place of the roebelenii, and it’s gorgeous.
You can talk to a master gardener at their plant clinics. Clinics include Sumter County Service Center, 7375 Powell Road, Fridays 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and Lowe’s on 466a on the 2nd Tuesdays and 4th Saturdays, 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. (I am not a master gardener but have a couple of their publications and have attended their programs.)
