Green Thumbs: With special care, palm trees will flourish in northern climate - pressofAtlanticCity.com: Arts & Entertainment: "Question: Earlier this year I received a small palm tree as a gift. I understand it is the type of palm that will flourish in New Jersey's climate range. My concern is how do I prepare it for the winter months. Should I feed it some sort of nourishment before the freeze? I am told I should wrap it in burlap packed with leaves or straw. Can you help?
Answer: Most people when thinking about palms only think of them growing in the tropics but there are several varieties that are well adapted to our northern climate. These palms are a worthy addition to our landscapes providing an oasis feel in the summer and unique winter interest as well. If you intend on overwintering your plant outside, it is very important to first identify your palm."
