Nashville used to be Zone 6 on the old 1990 map, I believe. And it's reasonable: Far removed from "big water"; wide open to airmasses plunging southward. Yet, you have more -- far more -- public palm plantings there, and it seems easier to grow palms in Nashville compared to Delaware. I say this out of jealousy. I get how Chattanooga is palm-friendly. Same for Memphis. But Nashville strikes me as being as cold as here or worse. And it's not true.
