I'd say to try Mexican fan palms and keep them indoors or in the garage during the winter. They can't take more than one day of frost, given the frosts in New York. I had a Mex Fan that lived in my apartment in San Francisco and then our house there - it loved the indoors and grew very slowly. Maybe four feet to seven feet over a six year period. Summers by the pool, winters hanging inside, not bad for a palm tree in New York! For acquisition, I'd say a road trip would be your best bet. Keep driving south until a nursery has some in stock! Best wishes!
