New kid on the block
I'm new to central sc zone 8a. I'm interested in growing a variety of tropical or tropical looking plants. I have never seen any palms in the date family growing in my area. Will a medjool palm grow in zone 8a without turning brown in the winter? I already have the usual cold hardy palms- sago, pindo, palmetto, dwarf palmetto , european fan , and needle palms. I also wonder if I could grow sylvestor palms. I live in a rural, frosty area where the night temps dip into the mid teens 4-5 times each winter. Average high January temp is in the mid 50's. I look forward to learning and exchanging info.
