Hi Steve,

although your suggestion is way out of my reach, living in HZ 6, I love your idea of experimentation,
something this forum could have more of, after all trying to push the limits of the tropics further up
north is, what I understand this to be all about.

The only problem is, that experimenting with palm trees may be too costly for some of us. I am
trying to raise palm trees here from seeds for that reason but the lengthy germination period
followed by extremely slow growth taxes my gardener's patience.

Thank you,
Olaf
