Wow, thanks for this information, which I'd already noticed anecdotally a few
years back while researching for species of "tropical" plants like palms,
cycads, and bananas that could be hardy to my location in zone 7 South Carolina.
I noticed that the definition of zone 7 did not fit what the typical winter lows
were around here, and am successfully growing a few plants (over several winters
survival) that aren't "supposed" to survive here.
