A staked spotlight with a 150 watt red heat lamp aimed up toward the crown will also work well. That's what I use on my Pindo palms up here in Birmingham whenever we have a low below 15F forecasted, and they've never shown any damage.
When we eventually move to TV, I'll definitely have Roebellenis in my backyard jungle. The beauty they add will far exceed the extra work they may require to protect from cold.
