This Sabinaria magnifica was planted out last spring here at Leu Gardens. I planted it in one of the warmest microclimates in the Garden. It has good overhead tree canopy protection and also wind protection. So far after this winter's freeze it is showing no damage. We had a low of about 28-29F here but this location was probably about 4-5 degrees warmer. A Cyrtostachys elegans x renda is growing next to it and looks good too.

Good to know. I saw speculation that it should be relatively sensitive, but you never know until you see the actual reports.

I have a sneaking suspicion this palm will grow in SoCal in the right microclimate. Great to hear it his those lows in FL.
