I know the numbers are not all correct but that is a good guide. I've never seen another site that has anything similar. I know Bismarckia nobilis silver can take down to 20, possibly less.

Of course, even if some of those numbers are not right, one has to question the planting of tender plants in a place that can get below 20.

Like SE Louisiana (lowest temp I know of in Mandeville is 7 back in 1989 - it was 11 in New Orleans). Very little survived that freeze.

I'm still not sure if where I am is 8B or 9.
