I think people get way to involved in the zone thing(not saying you guys 😀 )just in general.

I mean- I say I live in zone 5b- some winters are zone 6a,that does not cover
having 70 days of sub-32f highs some years.

Some like to say they live in a micro-climate and there lows are similar to zone 7a or
whatever but imagine how mild it is in zone 7a when the lows and highs are taken into account-

Those people say their micro-climates are zone 8a or 8b, like Washington D.C for example.

What really matters is what CAN grow there,D.C. is about the Northern limit near the east coast of
where Trachys,Needles and Sabals can grow unprotected,like Henry said,just keep them alive.

I create about a dry zone 7 equivalent for my palms and they 'just' do make it 😮

Henry,
You got tons of time to get your protection down. You definitely have a lot of minds to pick on here about palm huts too.

Zones are nothing more then a guideline, they give you a general idea of what to expect on a average winter. Zone 4-7 as long as you know how to properly protect for your area your golden! Obviously the warmer the better in winter, but we got what we got so if it's to cold for anyone move south 😆 I would love to live in a coastal SC zone 8, but I'm here so I do what I have to do to grow plants that would live down there:D

Bill

Thank Bill Ma , it`s pretty clear in my head i'm OK with my location , i would love to living some where warmer too but it's

impossible at the moment.

The most important right now for me it`s to be able to get my BB alive , i wish with your help!

thank's again everyone

Henry

This Fall will see one more person building a hut.
Good!

Sure a nice color on that Butia!
And the size of the Trachy...wow.

It must have been a labour of love building that bed.
Great specimens.
