I live in zone 8, close to Wilmington, N.C. Welcome you will find this forum very useful with lots of nice people.

It's not that close! Besides, there is a large mountain chain between us that keeps most of the cold air on our side. Charlotte is definitely a zone 8a. You should see some pics of the 20+ feet tall Trachycarpus there!
