Mature, well-established foxtail palms can tolerate light frosts and short bursts of temperatures down to 27 degrees Fahrenheit without significant damage. Prolonged cold temperatures or freezes cause discoloration or death of the leaves and sometimes the entire canopy of the tree. New growth in the next six months to a year may appear discolored or misshapen, but the palm should grow out of this in a year. Some palms lose the ability to take up water.
The most cold tolerant palms are; Needle Palm (from the American southeast) A green fan leaved trunkless palm. Cold hardy from about zero to 10 below zero. Specimens as far north as Cape Cod, Connecticut, Rhode Island on the east coast. This palm is very cold hardy but likes heat in the summer. Can be grown as far north as Vancouver BC on the west coast. Dwarf Palmetto- -nearly trunkless blue-green fan leafed palm from the American south. Can be grown as far north as Connecticut and Rhode Island on the east coast, and northern KY, Southern Illinois. Also on the west coast as far as Vancouver BC.
