Hi all...

Need help with two plants that have outgrown their use as house plants.

One is an Australian Ivy-Palm, the other a Ficus benjamina.  Both are
quite old, at least ten years, and they need to go somewhere, or we
won't be able to get in the house without a machete. From your
experience can you tell me how and where you have them outside and how
successful they are as outdoor plants.  Your advice would be greatly
appreciated.

I live in Salinas, Ca, approx. 15-20 miles inland from Monterey.  Our
climate is quite mild year-round, altho we do have a little frost from
time-to-time.  Sunset shows us as Zone 15.  The Salinas valley grows a
great deal of produce, which is shipped nation- wide
