"Coconut palms are intolerant of freezing weather. They will show leaf injury below 34ºF (1ºC), defoliate at 30ºF (-1ºC) and die at 27º (-3ºC). There are rare reports of coconut palms surviving (with severe damage) to 20ºF (-7ºC). One night of freezing weather can set the growth of a coconut palm back about 6 months."

Although a coconut palm will die at 32 degrees or 0 Celsius, if you are in an area where a soft freeze only occurs on rare occasions, you can shelter any tree that you can cover from top to the ground. If this is not an existing tree, don't plant it. You will have much better luck with a "Palapa" or Fan Palm .
