Here is a picture of a needle palm
(mulched heavily)
that Ive grown in N.E. Central Tennessee on the North Plateau.
It was a 5g potted palm planted 8 years ago. It use to burn back in the appalachian winters here but now has got much hardier frond wise.
Some people call the older single trunked Needles " BULL NEEDLES"
because it is out of character for the palm not to clump and whatever the term , I like this cold hardy palm . A tip for prospective growers more northerly than me , OBTAIN and PLANT the largest specimen you can possible find in the spring time and plant it then. this goes for just about any palm planting in z7a and below. Thanks for looking and sorry the picture is so large :
