Default Re: Freeze Recovery In SE LA

I asked someone at Home Depot last year, Why do you sell plants for zone 10B and 11 when up here you are in an 8A?

The response was odd. "Some people have atriums."

Someone has an atrium that is 100 feet tall for coconut trees?

"I guess."

I've seen bottle palms in New Orleans - before the freeze of '010 - and they were struggling. And that's 9A and 9B.

All the majesty palms that had gotten 20 or so feet high? Dead.

But most of the bananas are doing great.
