I've seen so much different results all over the internet and it seems in my area, the three that will grow best is either Rhapidophyllum hystrix, Sabal minor, and Nannorhops ritchiana. Which do you think will grow the best? I'm not counting on Nannorhops to do the best since we get lots of annual precipitation. But, it might work.

Agree with @Allen . I would check out his youtube videos (TNtropics) to get a feel for the cold hardy palm scene.

Yeah, agree with @Allen.  Plan to protect with artificial heat 3 to 5 years.

Sabal Minor and Needle palm will be bulletproof with light protection.

For instant wow effects go for a least a 7/15 gallon sized palm.

I recommend washingtonia filifera. This is one I’ve had planted in the ground for a few years now as of today. The temps got down to -25 degrees in January. They’re tough. But inside the protective cover I keep it about 55 degrees.

I’m in zone 6a in southeast Nebraska. Formerly zone 5b. These trees adapt well to any conditions. We get it all here. The worst of it all.
