If you, my fronded friend, want to try here is some advice from the jungle music website: "In our area the Coconut Palm does not survive outdoors. Yes, there are a few survivors throughout the entirety of Southern California. But, as a very reliable rule, Cocos nucifera, will eventually die from our cold weather. This doesn’t mean you can’t try, but the chances are you will fail. The same applies to a lot of sought after species. Cyrtostahcys renda, the Red Sealing Wax Palm, attracts many enthusiasts because of its dramatic red trunks. No, it will not survive in cold weather. It predictably dies at about 47 degrees Fahrenheit. Archontophoenix cunninghamiana, the King Palm, dies at about temperatures below 24 to 25 degrees. The typical Queen Palm dies at about 18 degrees. So, if you know your garden gets down to 5 degrees, don’t think you’re going to keep alive any of the above species. Plant palms that will predictably grow in your area." this is from http://www.junglemusic.net/palmadvice/palms-coldhardy1.htm
