Trachycarpus fortunei are the toughest SOB's alive.  Those things can survive a nuclear blast while the remaining areas is charred.

Here is a our recent "first freeze"

25°F, never an issue for T. fortunei. I think temps in the 10°F to 12°F range the palm could experience frond damage. So far up here, we've had a low of 33°F on 2 occasions.

Yup, they were fine.  Although the big fortunei along the fence is in an area that gets virtually no sun in winter....and is about 6-8 degrees F colder in the summer.  The ground was literally frozen for 3-4 days straight despite highs being in the mid-40s.
