| I've heard that CIDP is some what cold hardy, but last winter Dallas has some freezes and some moderate snow fall (to the point where you can build a snow man), I'm not sure if it would survive here. |

| Im guessing that if they could survive there, then you would see them growing there. Protection would be required in order for it to have any chance of living. |

| Not sure if a cidp would make it, but some other date palms might. Still its a very marginal family of palms to a zone 8 and the most cold tolerant of them is probably best suited for a zone 8b and up. But with protection I dont see why you cant try one! Good luck! |

| I consider CIDP to be 2nd only to coconuts in terms of beauty. If you succeed in keeping it alive in 8A, I wanna know about it. Problem is that they are not truly beautiful until they are quite large. |
