i understand perfectly what you are saying even tho the others may not..you want to push the limits of your zone a little.i grow grapefruit,tangerines, lemon,and kumquat here in central ga...you get a sense of accomplishment for growing stuff out of the norm when no one else would dream of trying.if you are growing coconut trees it is true when the temps drop below 60 even for a few hours it can seriously damage and or kill the tree. try the maylayan dwarf coconut tree. it is a much better use of your time as it can survive very short periods down in the mid 30.of course you would use a pot...im just saying its a better investment of your time.
