I have found spindle palms very hardy for my area. Given a little shelter and they seem to thrive in temps above the thirty degree mark.

Definitely see some nice stuff in Moore Haven on my way down US-27.  Thanks for sharing!

Agreed.  There are two really nice Spindles in front of the Sun Trust Tower in Downtown Orlando that have been there for a number of years.  If you have a sheltered area in zone 9B and don't really have the space for a Roystonea, this would be a great alternative that gives you the look without the gargantuan proportions...  :-)

I really like spindles, an under used palm IMO. I have a bunch that are about 17 yrs old, never a problem with anything.

Yeah they are a great palm for a warm 9b spot. I have numerous ones here in Port Orange that do great.  I do have A good canopy though.
