I am mainly looking at T.nanus, T.takil, T.wagnerianus, and T.fortunei 'hayes stiffie'.
We have -10F to -15F winters, and around 105F summers. I have read that the trachys don't like hot summers and I know my winters are really pushing it for fortunei and from what I have heard wagnerianus, but I was hoping not as much on the other two. I am really looking for a trunking palm, and have thought about Sabal 'Birmingham'. I do have "Palms won't grow here, and other myths", but was hoping someone might have more information.
