SeanK Posted November 20 Report Share Posted November 20 (edited) Even on the hi-res and a 27-in monitor I can't see it. Must be islands 30 miles off the SE coast. Edit: Augusta is 5b Edited November 20 by SeanK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Augusta is 5b 7a is the lighter green, call the usda to change their colors if you can’t see the difference. I know the area I ride the island daily and work on the water so I’d think I understand the temps on the coast when we don’t go below zero.

Maybe come May, you can ferry out and plant the first Rhapidophyllum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, I have three different palms in MAINE that’s outside and I’ve successfully kept them alive for four winters, I’m not looking for your advice or opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
