Overview
Hardy-tropical possibilities for this region, besides [Nick DiPatri]'s banana, include the dwarf palmetto (Sabal minor), which has a fan shape and a down-growing trunk; the needle or porcupine palm (Rhapidophyllum hystrix); and the windmill palm (Trachycarpus fortunei). They're tough, good to about minus 10 degrees. DiPatri learned about tropicals from [Joe Kiefer], a high school buddy, who also gave him his Musa basjoo, the hardiest of bananas. Interesting to look at, too. Kiefer has a hardy banana that's nowhere near the size of DiPatri's. In fact, he was so impressed with his pal's specimen, he posted its photo online in a tropical-plant forum and asked people where they thought it was growing.
