Is your Christmas Palm completely gone or did it just burn? My suggestion for the TB area is Foxtail, but they do eventually get larger than 10ft and probably have the same death rate as a Christmas Palm. How about a Phoenix roebelinii???? Tropical yet stays short.

Yes unfortunately it is. I like fox tails but I have seen many around my area completely bronzed from our past winter. The pygmy date sounds like a good choice. Thanks

Look at a Pindo palm, its cold hardy. We live in Pinellas County and even my robellinis got burned. I had bought a spindle palm last fall, I covered it in a moving blanket and it still got cold damage. Now I need to replace it since I cant stand how it looks....could shoot the nursery who told me it could survive 30 degrees....it obviously cant. I was surprised my neighbors well established bottle palm fared very well.

What about Queen Palms (Syagrus romanzoffiana)? They are relatively fast growing, very cool tolerant, and very tropical looking. I like them for all these reasons and the fact that they always remind me of Roystonea reginae. I have two that are about 12 feet and among my favorite tropical plants.

Phoenix roebelenii,Pseudophoenix sargentii

I think a Queen Palm or a Pindo Palm would be too large, lawtay was looking for a 10 ft max. Remember that this was an extremely cold winter the one in ten type.

Phoenix roebelenii sounds like a good choice. Perhaps you might like to try a clump of bamboo palms, Chamedorea. I have a bunch of them I have been growing for about 5 years now and they look nice. They are small and have thin trunks that look like miniature bamboo, very tropical looking and didn't take much damage from the frost.
