Dear Mediterranean Plant Nuts:
I have recently moved to Stockton from the East and have a strong interest
in plants of the Protea family (esp. Protea, Leucodendron, Banksia,
Grevillea, Hakea, etc.). I'm wondering if anyone in the Central Valley (or
in Sunset Zones 8,9,14) has had any experience with these being hardy
here--I think our lows are in the 20-25 F range, but am not sure. I have
only seen a few Grevillea species grown, none of the others. I recently
visited both Sierra Azul nursery (Watsonville), and UC Santa Cruz arboretum
(amazing for the above plants). Thanks so much in advance for any help you
can provide.
Happy Growing,
Kyle Herbold
