Yes, Sylvester Palms can flourish in The Villages weather. It's my favorite type of palm tree, especially if the trunk is diamond cut to give that nice orange glow. We had a double (curved) Sylvester planted in our front yard and we love it! We also have Queens and an European Fan Palm. We made our decisions by googling "frost hardy palms".
