Will a palm tree grow in a drier climate?

I am wondering that if I bring a Palm tree back to my home in California, will it be able to survive the drier climate? I have seen palm trees growing in california but I don't know if those are the same type of trees.

Yes, palm trees love warm weather. It is essential to water the palm tree ocassionally, and to also have good soil to plant it in (not sandy).

Palm trees are also easy to catch certain kinds of fungus that can yellow the leaves. A quick trip to your local home care store will get you the right kinds of fungicide to deal with that.
