Re: Gardening thoughts from Vermont

George asked how far north gunnera can grow.

There are two enormous gunnera at Tofino, on the west coast of
Vancouver Island, Canada.  This area is often frost-free. It has high
rainfall, (about 3 metres or 120 inches), and fogs during summer
mornings.  The lot is an ordinary sized one, maybe 50 feet wide.
There is a central path to the front door, and one gunnera on each
side of it, so that the entire front garden is taken up by the two of
them.
