Windmill palms are the most cold and cool summer hardy of all the palms, although absolute minimum temperature may be exceeded by needle palms, Sabal minor, as well as very brief nighttime cold exposure to desert palms. For instance, on the northern coast of Estonia, in hardiness zone 6, individual Trachycarpus fortuneis are also grown [4] [5].

[1] Once cut off from the tree, the leaves are ordered, cleaned, heated, straightened, and tied together in what is known as an olla book or palm-leaf ...
Sabal palmetto grows up to 20 m (80 ft) tall. [8] Starting at half to two-thirds the height, the tree develops into a rounded, costapalmate fan of numerous leaflets.A costapalmate leaf has a definite costa (midrib), unlike the typical palmate or fan leaf, but the leaflets are arranged radially like in a palmate leaf.
It is leaf hardy to near 0 °F (−18 °C), and has been known to survive brief periods of −5 °F (−21 °C) temperatures. It is generally cultivated in subtropical and warm temperate climates. S. minor can grow in a wide variety of soil types, and is often found submerged in swamps in the southeastern United States. It grows in both full ...

Various hardiness ratings are published. In the United States (US), the most widely used is the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) system of hardiness zones based on average minimum yearly temperatures. [4] This system was developed specifically for the extremely diverse range of conditions in the US, from baking desert to frozen tundra.
