I don't know my Phoenix real well, is that Dactylifera? Or something else? I too am in zone 6b...

Ks I`m not sure what type of phoenix it is. I bought it of the local buy and sell they had listed it as a windmill palm for $40.00. I`m just glad it made it through it`s first winter. Total experiment on this palm.

I mummy wrapped it in fiberglass insulation and had a small space heater trained on it when we got a cold snap.

Nobody panics when people plant normal trees because its part of the plan... if someone plants a Palm EVERYONE LOSES THERE MINDS!

Congrats John.
Very impressed with CIDP's survival.
Being near the lake, you're certainly milder than my min temps (-20C, three times this winter).
I planted mine out last month so that's encouraging.
Thanks for the pic!
