Dear Muriel, it does not think so!
How many people have seen a Canary Island Date Palm
Phoenix canariensis covered in snow, and they are allegedly not supposed to be hardy here. Problem is my one seems to like it and is at the second level of the house despite me chopping it back.
It does not snow in the Canary islands; people go there on Holiday to get suntanned and yet this thing is growing in the snow, how strange!
Regards to all.
Neil.
