Thanks to all for the nice compliments ...
Ivyleager --- We get some japanese beetles in July but , they haven't been too bad the last couple years ...
Samantha in AL --- Japanese windmill palms , pindo palm , mexican fan palm , sabal minors and needle palms . These all need protection in PA . I would think a lot of these would grow unprotected in your area depending on your low temps for the winter .
For bananas musa basjoo , orinocos , blood bananas , red abbyssinian , pink velutina , thai black and a few others . The basjoo are left in the ground . The others are dug up and stored inside , some in pots and some bare root .
Harry H3 --- Lots of protection ...
Seriously the hibiscus gets no protection . They are hardy here . The only banana that I leave out is musa basjoo . Borderline hardy here ...
