Anyone know anything about them? No clear response from John Lodes on Hardy Palm and Subtropical Board

I thought I remembered hearing that the past winter killed it. However, there are other palms that have survived in Oklahoma, so I could be wrong!

I too thought the birmingham died a couple winters ago.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.
