Thank you all,

My climate is verry special. In winter, the temp doesn't go often under -4°c.
Last winter, it has freeze 3 weeks long (-1 to -3°c). This winter there was no frost.

The major problem here is to much rain, soil moisture and mouldiness, because of the low temps.

I try to grow a citrus : satsuma myagawa.

Trachycarpus fortunei and wagnerianus are growing very well, chamerops humilis, sabals and butia too. Washingtonia and phoenix died because of moisture/mildew.

Nothing is protected during winter in my garden.
