Hi From Massachusetts, USA

Post by TimMAz6 » Wed Jul 07, 2010 6:05 am

Hello to all,

I like to grow Yuccas and other subtropical plants in my garden. I like palms but they require protection in our USDA zone 6B climate. Lets talk plants!

Hi Jim,

thanks.......I'll post a few photos down in the hardy desert photo folder since I grow mostly Yuccas.

Trachys, Musa basjoo, canna, oleander, and whatever I can. I also do loads of standard gardening with med figs and other fruit trees... . The weather is so extreme here though, 104 this week and then down to the single digits in winter, it's a crap shoot...But a fun one at that. Welcome to the boards. Chat soon
