Whether a palm can survive a period of cold depends on many things. Indeed, one palm may survive a cold-snap while an adjacent palm of the same species succumbs. With that in mind, this list is only a guide to minimum survivable temperatures and does not represent absolute survivable temperatures.

Some factors affecting cold-hardiness include:

	Age of the palm			Relative humidity
	Health of the palm			Microclimate
	Genetic make-up of the individual palm			Protection (either natural or artificial)
	Duration of cold			Soil make-up
