I really enjoyed the pictures you posted, along with others. Had I not found your thread, I would never have realized there are palms trees in Canada, thanks for creating this thread.

Do you know where else in BC these windmill palms survive outdoors in terms of areas colder than Vancouver (zone 8a).

I am trying to see if they will survive outdoors without protection in southern and SW Ontario in the future.

Toronto: 6a (not downtown)
Toronto: 6b (downtown, near lake Ontario)
Niagara region: 6b
Windsor/SW Ontario: 6b-7a
St Catharines just West of Niagara Falls: 7a Surprise !

As far as I know there is no 7a zone in Southern Ontario. At least the Natural Resources Canada site don't show it, but it does show the very small 5b area on the South shore of Montreal which is no bigger than downtown Toronto. (this is the only 5b zone in Quebec, aside from the Magdalene islands)
