Looks like my Chinese Fan Palm, only a heck of a lot healthier.

Welcome aboard!

Looks like a livistona chinensis to me but I´m no expert 8) I have Livistona rotundifolia which looks similar but with rounded bright green leaves. I wonder why they fill one pot with so many seedlings? I know, the looks but in a long perspective single plant is more useful imo. I´ve done the same with the washie seedlings-potted 4 into one pot. I cant bear throwing the smaller ones away.

I agree,livistona chinensis -they usually pot them up like this(with so many)to make
them look fuller as they appear quite leggy,(when young) with their long petioles and what not 😐

Ahh, glad to see the tag was correct...

I guess the question is, Is this a cold hardy palm? Or should I just leave it in the house, and put some known cold hardy palms outside. I am located in Zone 6a, and see occasional temps obernight below 12-15*. It's rare but it does happen for a few hours overnight.

Not very cold hardy,low 20s will severely damage this one.

Look at Francko's book on using it as a die back palm if you really want to plant out.

Since I am a noob I will ask, what is a die back palm? I'm assuming that means it will die completely and comeback when it warms up? ❓

You can cover it with heavy mulch and it will come back in spring.
I think David Francko actually did that in Ohio!

I read that part of Francko's book and was skeptical. Has anyone else really done that?
If it would work anywhere, it should work here as our soil doesn't freeze (much; this year was kind of an exception, thus the plumbing problems last month).

I've never tried it; I have trouble keeping mine alive above freezing. 😐

I think cutting it back,then covering it with a large styrofoam lid when it is dry in late fall,then-
covering (depending on your zone), with a foot or two of mulch would work fine.

I'll try it with a cheap Walmart specimen and report back in 15 months. Don't let me forget. I need to buy the victim in May. 😈

Should work fine.
I think there are lot of other plants you could try this with-Cannas,obviously Basjoos.
I tried it with some Cannas but I didn't really put enough material over them,-18f last winter
didn't help either 😯

I left mine out side until Dec 8th. It saw temps at -5 c.. I was thinking about leaving in out and trying what Francko did.. Maybe next year>>

Scotty watty do da-where the hell you been?
