Does anyone know where you can buy cold hardy palm trees in Missouri?

Looking for cold hardy palm trees around 5 gallon bucket size in Missouri. I need a palm tree that will survive winters that dip down to 5 to 0 degrees from time to time. Is there a nursery where I could pick one up? NOTE I am not looking for seeds I am looking for 5 gallon bucket sized cold hardy palms. Already established! Willing to spend up to 200 dollars. Thanks for your time!!

I'm assuming you've already tried looking at local nurseries? The only place I really know of that specializes in trees is Hanson's Tree Service, which I believe sells trees as well as does services to trees already existing in your landscape. They're located near St. Louis. Otherwise, I would suggest listening to KMOX on Saturday mornings from 9am to 12pm when Mike Miller is on. If you call in, he could probably recommend a place. Sorry if that wasn't much help.
Reply:Ebay!!!! Needle palm I tried in ohio and windmill I needed to use sand as the soil to make it work I had sucess with a sago palm which was werid they arent hardy... I put straw around them in a something like chicken wire... I used anti fungi and deca stuff.... Good Luck, the best thing that worked was my banana trees !!! Two winters no problem... Japanise fiber banana... there are other names they worked wonderfully!!!! Good LUCK
Reply:I live in Florida and never heard of cold weather palm trees. Do you plan on keep them in a green house ? If you plant them out side in Missouri they will freeze and die in the winter.
Reply:This is an interesting question for me. I also live in Fl. and have never heard of cold weather palms. I'm glad to know there are. I'm moving to Va.next month and I hate the thought of loosing all my plants due to the cold. Mostly my 75 orchids.


I can't answer your question but will look forward to the best answer.


Good luck
