As a silly fool that has a lot of tropicals that need to come in during the winter-I can understand your sentiments! There are many times, when I am running out of room in the winter, that I wish I had more smarts and restraint-either one would help!

I would try to pick the best microclimate in your yard-on the south side, up against a wall of the house etc, and mulch it very heavily in the fall and see what happens-also a dryer spot-where the roots won't stay wet in the winter. Let us know how it goes....experiments are a real part of gardening to me.

Here is a picture of what my hallway looked like during the winter-I finally just layed down a tarp to put all the palms on that I had gotten from Hawaii in January. lol
