Hi folks
Can anyone tell me what would be a good palm tree to grow outdoors, this
is to give as a present to a gardener friend who lives in central belt
of Scotland, or would it be too cold for any to survive up there?

Trachycarpus fortunii is the only one with a realistic chance of long term
survival, it will cope with wet as well as cold down to around -25c and was
undamaged by snow this last winter (which did for several supposedly hardy
palms)
