Most of Japan is either remarkable in the consistency of cold in winter – Tokyo is zone 9 and has Canary Island date palms – or has ample and predictable snow cover. Nurseries call a lot of them zn 7 hardy but I really wonder how they would cope with a winter like ’85 or even ’94 (in mid-atlantic zn 7 where I garden). Still I’ll probably try one sooner or later.
