Cold Hardy Palm Trees
Wednesday February 27, 2008
Are pink flamingoes still your idea of lawn and garden decor, even though we're in the dead of winter? If so, then let's face it: winter landscape design is just not your cup of tea. You'd prefer a tropical landscape design -- you just don't happen to live in the tropics. But don't let that stop you. Cold hardy palm trees do exist. In fact, The Hardiest Palms, a Web site dedicated exclusively to disseminating information on cold hardy palm trees, notes that one species of palm tree has withstood temperatures as low as -20°F!
