Don't know about eventually planting it outdoors in North Carolina but look into a Rhapis Excelsa "Lady Palm" for a good indoor palm. Slow growing and does good in a pot. Have had one in my office for several years now. Good luck.

: Hi, my girlfriend just started going to
: college in Massachusetts. She
: absolutely loves palm trees and while
: I知 not sure if there痴 a kind of palm
: tree that can even survive up there,
: I知 hoping you might be able to help me
: find one that can live there, so I can
: give it to her as a Christmas gift.
:
: She値l be there for four years, so it
: would need to stay small and indoors
: during this time. After the four years
: she値l be going to North Carolina,
: where should could at that point plant
: it outside.
:
: So to summarize, are there any slow
: growing, or just permanently small palm
: trees that can handle the cold weather
: in Massachusetts. The palm tree would
: be kept in a heated room (60 to 80
: Fahrenheit depending on the season) by
: a window with good sunlight coming from
: the northeast.
:
: My search is looking extremely
: doubtful, so if you have anything you
: could point me towards, that would be
: great.
