Pindos grow very slowly. There is one here in New Orleans with about a 20' trunk that is 49 years old, which I know b/c I asked the woman who has lived in that house her whole life. They are hardy down to about 10º F, or even slightly lower. (It is the cold-hardiest feather-leaved palm on earth). But no palm will grow in NE Illinois.
The tree shown at 0:55-1:00 is a Phoenix canariensis (Canary Island Date Palm).
@TropicalBreeeze late reply but here - they are quite fast growing compared to others.

Some people are growing Windmill Palms in the Chicago area and places in Michigan and Ohio. They must be properly sheltered for winter though.
