It got down to 30.2 F last night making it the coldest night this winter according the my weather station device. No damage except to charmadorea elegans minor leaf burn ( it was probably grown & shipped down from QLD ) ! :D

Hi Bubba ,

Our Latitude is 42.50 south . normal highs are between 50- 60 f normal lows are 40-48 f approx lots of sunny days .

I can grow yucca elephantipes, gbop , all citrus, howeas, archophoenix cunninghamia , dypsis decaryi , phillodendron selloum etc. all without winter damage. By Australian standards we are Montana !!!LOL

I am on the coast inland 15 km +it can get well below freezing and heavy frost limiting palms to cidp and trachys .

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!
