Has anyone tried Arenga Engleri or Archontophoenix cunningha

[Nathan]

You could get a Jubaea chilensis, the hardiest feather palm, though they are slow growing & a decent sized one is going to be expensive...

If you want a similar look to an Arenga or Archontophoenix (but smaller growing) you should get a Chamaedorea radicalis, should be hardy for you...

The Arenga engleris in the first photo are actually growing in a garden in London.
Read article below. This is the same photo as the first post.

My Arenga engleri has been pushing spear throughout Spring.
