The saw palmetto or Washingtonia may be your best bets. Saw palmetto can take some freezing temperature and snow, but you would have to keep the ground from freezing solid.

If all else fails, just whack the trunk off several inches above the ground and it shouold re-grow normally.

We grow a few mangrove to be used in marine aquariums and as a aquatic specimen plant. They look their best when the trunk sits on top of a tripod of aerial roots. To get the aerial roots to develop nicely, tie the sprouted seed so that only the root tips reach the water. Keep raising the plant as the roots grow until you have the desired effect. It will do nicely in a terrarium. Takes a lot of light though.

I didn't know you could get moso seed. That's great.
Water bamboo is a dracaena. Are we talking about the same thing? We propagate it from cuttings because its much faster that way. I have grown other dracaena from seed though. You just rub the goop off of ripe fruit, dry the seed a few days, then plant them in plug flats. Well drained and often watered. They are usually slow to sprout.
