Hi

My Name is Dominik. I live in Central Europe (Poland) about 500 meters from Baltic sea. It is one of the most warm place in Poland. Since 2003 i make some test of tropical/subtropical plants. I name it "Project Platan". For those who know Polish there is link to forum where we talk about this (and wehre test results): http://oleander.pl/index.php?p=showforums

I think that there is no palm that can survive -25 or -30. It is absolutly not possible. Most of them die at temperature about -15 Celsius. There is no problem to surrvive about -10/-15 for trachycarpus (but not so long). Trachycarpus martianus (white flag at -10), chamaerops humilis (give up at -10) I`ve tested some others meditarenian like: laurus nobilis (hardy to -10, big damages at -15), ficus carica (hardy to -15), Olea europea (hardy to -12/-15, some small plants survive about -25!), erobiotrya japonica (survive -25!) eucaliptus niphophila (-25!), punica granatum (-25!), opuntia engelmanii (-25!), citrus limon (-3 no damages/-5/-7 big damages), citrus aurantium (like limon), citrus paradisi (survive -7 with light damages). Poncirus trifoliata (no problem at -25), araucaria araucana (no problem at -25) and sequoia giganteum (no problem at -25).

Sorry for any mistakes.

Best regards

Dominik
