thank you for your time psi64 but these are the palms i allready have and most of them are not so small any more......what i am looking for are new ideas and new species.....the ground to plant them is 1500000sq/m big so it is a lot of space .....the biggest problem is watter but i am working on a wattering sistem..maybe i solve the problem with that.....also i am looking for some people botanic studens or tropical subtropical plans lovers or just people interested in that...the idea is to make a botanic garden.....the island is infront of the island hvar in middle adriatic....maybe i would invite some people here..... thanks once again toto

Caryota maxima should be more resistent to low tempertaures than C.mitis.
There a several bamboos which withstand low temperatures (Can't tell names)
Treeferns, especially Dicksonia antarctica are a bit frost resistent, but requires permanent watering.
Albizia Julibrissin, some species are very frost resistent. Any should survive 4°C.

The following should be frost tolerant:
Eucalyptus Archeri
E. Coccifera
E. Glaucesens
E. Pauciflora ssp. Debeuzevillei
E. Pauciflora ssp. Niphophile
E. Pauciflora ssp. Pauciflora
E. Subcrenulata

Sequoia Sempervirens & Sequoiadendron giganteum survive with ease Vienna freezing temperatures.

Morus Nigra (Maulbeerbaum)

diksonia antartica i have two abaut 11/2 m big and the silk tree albizia grows a lot on the island from the eucalyptus i have gunni and archeri and athird species i dont have the name .....caryota maxima i didnt find to buy....have to try more for the other names if you could identifi the tipe of plants ....for the sequoia i also didnt find them to buy.....thanks for a lot of information toto

[psi64]

Caryota maxima see PM.
Sequoia look at www.samenladen.de --> Pflanzen der Rekorde

Oops, ... Ginkgo Biloba of course. Be patient the fruits smells awefull! But great tree, getting very old, need 2 sexes to produce seeds (2 Trees!). Need 25-35 years to produce first time seeds. For me it would be great to have in my own garden mature Ginkgo's. Or even a Ginkgo forest

[toto]

once you have to try Fitolaka it is a argentinian tree grows verry fast and n looks verry much like elefantlegg it gets big but for few years its nice to have it at home ....also needs two sexes toto
