"I think Phoenix theophrasti is hardier than you think. I know of one (in Peter Jenkins' front garden, for those that know him) that has sailed through all the bad winters - it has been there maybe 15 years or more and he isn't in a particualrly mild spot - I'd guess it saw a low of -8 or -10C in that time. I also have one that took -8C and 60cm of wet snow, week long sub-zero temps, with no ill effect"
Zvuči ohrabrujuće za sve one na sjevernom Jadranu kojima je P. canariensis marginalan ili ga ne mogu uopće uzgajati ili ne žele imati Phoenix koji im se dugo oporavlja nakon jakih zima.
