Pindos are the least hardy of anything I currently have in the ground up here. Whenever it's forecasted to go below 15F I have spotlight fixtures (the kind with a stake to go in the ground) with a heatlamp bulb aimed downwind of course, & up toward the heart (growpoint) of the palm. I usually place it out about 3 feet from the base of the trunk. Don't want to cook it. Has worked great for me, but haven't had to use at all the past two winters.
