Honestly, I think they sell things like that WAY out of zone simply because people like to plant them as an annual for a tropical look in a not-so-tropical locale. I know our home depot sells a few different types of palms that in NO WAY would EVER survive here. There are also a few greenhouses that sell a few types of bananas (siam ruby and E. maurelii mostly) which again, have NO chance of surviving winters here.
