It’s a joke, it’s kinda how the whole state voted against pritzker but he still won because of Chicago, so it’s not anything political it’s kinda like an inside joke here in Illinois.

Its possible to have unprotected needle palms and sabal minors if put near the house in the right place, we got a low of -9 to -10 this winter so its possible especially with the rising temperatures.

 

If they survive, they would probably take on a lot of damage. The kind of damage that takes at least one growing season to mend. And by the time it does, another winter comes and clobbers it again probably killing it.

 

teddytn is correct. Protection will be a permanent fixture. I had a European Fan Palm that "survived" its first winter- looked like a plant that had been on Okinawa during WWII. The next winter did it in. Sabals and Needles do great here, but everything else is vulnerable. I have one Trachy that I will always protect.
