Arrow Palms that are good in zone 9A

Last Saturday we went to the annual plant show at Leu Gardens in Orlando.

Great show a bunch of vendors, our main focus was to get a bunch of palms to start our landscape project off.
But they needed to tolerate the low temps that may occur here.

We found the following on this trip most 4-6.5 feet

Canary Island - date palm
mule
pindo
bizmarkias
windmill
sabal causiarum
coontie
rhapis multi
arenga elgleri
Sabal minor
silver saw
c. microspadix
seashore Allagoptera arenaria

Several other plants were purchased also filling the back seat, the pickup bed was full.

The pic was taken just after unloading, they R not going there just chilling out. Planning now on placement/location.

Most came from MB Palms near Orlando, he had a large offering.

Great people to deal with his prices are 40-70% less than the nurseries around here. Mike is the owner and know palms, thought I did my research but he didn't think several were a good idea here, understand that Orlando's temp zone 9B is very different than we have here.

.

He has a 5 acre facility.
