Yes many palms killed in Florida due to very cold spells. Yes most of year warm but those cold spells in florida does burn many palms..

Talking about Florida weather need to be more specific since it got z8 through z11.

Record Low (past 5 years): 45F or +7.7C (once a winter, some winters). Record High (past 5 years): 83F or +28C (some days only). Elevation 140 m (459 ft.) to 160 m (525 ft.), latitude 38.54º.

Our issue in Fuerteventura is the wind

 

What does wind do to your palms? Is humidity low there? Coupled with high winds low humidity can kick some ass to some palms. Care to share pix of your jardin? We also get strong winds during cooler period of the year, which break some fronds, but never much of a problem. I am at 140m elevation and every square are has its own microclimate. Originally from a very cold North European climate I enjoy mild climate of Açores and dislike very hot and very humid climes. Very hot 33-38C (90F to 105F) is fine though as long as reasonable humidity. Florida is hell with high humidity and always 80F to 110F and 90-100% humidity. I would be surprised if there's a mild climate somewhere in Florida.

This is mine. Seeds came from Thailand. This has been a slow grower for me in my cool highland garden. It has been a magnet for leaf chewing insects and has been completely defoliated several times. I was also concerned that the yellow would make it look like a sickly deficient palm, but the new leaves are a very attractive canary yellow.

Even yours at almost tropical climate look sickly. What is your altitude on Fuerteventura?

By winds i mean north east winds..in winter at night time , when reaching very lows of 15c , it can feel a bit fresh..we often have to wear a jumper .    Day time in winter is 20 c  most of year its night time 19c, and day time 25c to 30,s ..  my coconut palm did burn..i think its because i bought it from green house in garden center and straight into full sun.  Its still alive but now growing new leafs. My 7 gal Adonidia doing great on terrace.   I have a king palm and Kentiospsis Oliviformis,  both very small.  And even trying a soursop tree.  We have many palms that cope well in the wind, but when seedlings they can be tender. My Dypsis Pembana are all doing great.    Not much rain in Fuerteventura..plenty picon, that black volcanic rock, is used to cover the ground, around the plants...

Nice photos and plants. How do you get water supply from? Is it limited and how big is the average water bill? And what is your elevation above sea level? Your kind of climate is good for Medjools. There are palms resistant to wind, too many to list, but Hyophorbes are easy to grow, especially the bottle palm and Copernicias. Adonidias are also listed as wind resistant.

Record Low (past 5 years): 45F or +7.7C (once a winter, some winters). Record High (past 5 years): 83F or +28C (some days only). Elevation 140 m (459 ft.) to 160 m (525 ft.), latitude 38.54º.

Below is what these pre-germinated seedlings look like today in my sunroom. One of them is dead, and a couple more are struggling, but otherwise I'm satisfied with the results to date. To increase the humidity around them,  I keep them tented in a light weight, plastic dry cleaning bag. Temperatures in my sunroom have fluctuated this summer from the mid-60s F to the low triple digits. :hmm:

Here's an update on these seedlings as of today, Nov. 6, 2018. Most of them now have three leaves. Will be interesting to see how they do indoors this winter. I've kept them 'tented' under a plastic bag.
