Tropical Looking Plants for Zone 6:
Thank You SOOOO much! I live in a dreadfully ugly and boring area (Salt Lake City, UT, USA), and I've been dying to find anything more tropical, broadleaf, and evergreen-looking, as most people around here go too far with the dry, arid, rocky, desert theme. It makes my skin crawl and itch just to look at it! It's all bland and dull; at best they plant a pine or cypress tree. I've held off planting anything in my yard unless it is more suited to coastal and tropical climes. God bless you for making a list! Some of us refuse to be stuck with the lazy, easy, (and ugly) way out! I feel better already!
