I went to the last nursery and I wanted to see if there were any palms there. I went in there greenhouse but did not see any thing and thought I would have to drive to broadway nursery But beside a cordyline was chinese fan palm. It was for zones 8 to 9. I still have to try it with a small greenhouse and lots of heat. Thanks jay for the help on the other topic. I could not use the other imghoster 🙁 Should I stick this outside or keep it as a house plant??
It might not be very hardy but its worth a try and there is no trunk.

They are not hardy. They can survive here but with overhead protection and an ideal microclimate. I know of one good sized one in Vancouver that has survive in this type of situation. I would treat it as a house plant.

yuccaman,
Chinese fan palm will definately die anywhere in Ontario unless you bring it in a greenhouse. Are you still in Trenton or are you down Windsor way?
Thanks
