Yes, tropicals can do quite well here. Mine loved this summer as long as I kept them watered.

timmijo,stop and ask those banana growers near you how they do it and which variety they find hardy. Here I grow musa basajoo, hardy banana in the ground in a sheltered location, mostly sheltered from the wind!

I also grow encete but bring it in for the winter to an unheated porch where it goes 'dormant'. I do the same with various colocasia/alocasia.

Have never tried Poinciana. Good luck..

Her's a pic of tropical plantings here in 7b.
