Palms for StL area

14 years ago

Other than Needles what palms will do ok in the stl area (zone 6) without much in the form of winter protection. I'm looking for something that will get fairly tall over time. I've heard windmills will do ok but was just curious if there were any others that have been successfully grown in my area.

A windmill will need winter protection there. But place it in a south facing garden near a wall and it should do fine in the long run.

I'm thinking about trying a windmill palm next year here in Springfield IL. I planted a needle palm this year. Have you tried needle palms in STL?

I have 2 needles that overwintered fine here last year but our winter was so mild.

They were mild here too. My crape myrtles didn't even get damaged. Just wandering if needle palms could be overwintered outside in STL without protection.
