These tough species are native to eastern China, Myanmar, and the Himalaya mountains, where severe (though brief) winter conditions can occur.

With their deep green, fan-shaped leaves and graceful upright form, these palms can add a touch of the tropics to any home.<\/p>\n
How do you winterize a palm tree <\/h3>\n
Small palms should be mulched with a layer of chopped leaves. The base and crown should be covered, but the plant should not be smothered completely. During a cold snap, the entire plant should be protected by adding a box or blanket over the leaf mulch. However, the palm should not be completely covered (excluding sunlight) for more than 3 days.<\/p>\n
If you are expecting a severe ice storm or temperatures below 25 degrees for a period of 24 hours, it is best to wrap your palm. This will protect your palm from the cold and prevent damage. You can use a long sheet of frost cloth or a sturdy strap or rope to tie the fronds together. These same supplies can be reused year after year.<\/p>\n
