Sorry, Sandi, but I don't know Dr. Noblick. It does sound like a great talk.

As for zone pushing, I think we all do it to some extent. I have a mango tree, some bananas, lychee, a bottle palm and a Licuala grandis palm. All belong in Miami but I go to great lengths to protect them along with about 130 orchids. We have had a couple of cold winters and it can become a real chore. I keep the bottle palm in half of a whisky barrel and I built a platform with wheels to roll it out of harms way.
