After seeing the tropical plants die in my yard the past two winters, especially this past year which was supposed to be the coldest in decades in Central Florida; I have decided to try and grow cold hardy plants like a Colorado Blue Spruce called 'The Blues' which is a dwarf weeping variety, a Hinoki Cypress 'Nana Gracilis', and a Japanese Maple 'Shaina'. I am also trying my luck with roses of the Fortuniana rootstock variety.
As you can see, I recently got bit by the gardening bug :)
hello and welcome from upstate new york. there are tons of people from florida here and i am sure they will give you any hlep you may need.
Thanks. I hope some of them know how to grow cold hardy plants in Florida.
have you checked out the community forums here on daves garden??
Yes I have looked at many of them and posted on the beginning gardener, roses, and a few others, like plant ID. They have been very helpful.
good for you. everyone is very helpful here.
