Here in Victoria Windmill palms do very well. Our winters are quite mild, rarely dropping below -10C. They might do well for you!

It has the 3rd and some feel 2nd northernmost growing range and winter endurance of all the hardy palms. It is one of the more typical looking palms. It has a well defined trunk and can grow to 40ft. In addition to the US southeast, it is often seen in British Columbia, Washington State, Southern Ireland, Great Brittain, and Austria.
