Default My favorite but doesn't work here

My favorite palm is the Phoenix Reclinata, but unfortunately they are not cold hardy enough to survive here in most locations. There are a couple around, Havana Country Club has one or two by the clubhouse and Lake Miona Rec Center has a big one near the entrance. Here's a couple pics of one I got for free (it was totally overgrown, hadn't been trimmed up at all, and the owner was going to pay someone to take it to the dump!) and paid a LOT to move it 4 miles to my yard in the St. Pete area. My neighbors couldn't believe it!
