SW Ontario: Windmill palms survive ?

Hi Metro-One,

Thanks for posting more pictures of Windmill palms, especially pictures in the winter.

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 !

I am hoping one day when tourists from the US visiting SW Ontario or Niagara Falls will exclaim (as your earlier post) "Wow, Ontario has palm trees ... ! "

Thank you !
