Quite the find. Tikilongbeach, the two palms in the pictures appear to be Chinese Windmill Palm hardy to about -5 degrees F and European (Mediterranean) Fan Palm hardy to around 10 degrees F. I've got both here in Washington and they've shrugged of 10 days in a row of 25 degree highs with lows in the upper teens and there are a lot of Windmill palms I've seen that have been down to 10 degrees here several times and are still here. How cold does it get in Dallas? I haven't lived there for 10 years, but it would freeze, although not for more than 3 days. You're probably right.
