I get depressed everytime I see a climate from somewhere else near my latitude with palm trees and an avg low of 38F in January.
A 38F avg low in Jan in the eastern US means no palm trees, except for maybe some super hardy sabal palmetto things or Chinese windmills. Certainly not phoenix palms or fruit laden orange trees:
Sparta should get a solid B for climate. Anywhere with mild winters can't get anything lower than a C, and Sparta enjoys warm fall and spring weather. Summer can be a bit hot, but that is not such a big deal.

An average low of 38 means sabal palms, washingtonias, some cidp, pindo palms, sago palms. Low of 38 would most likely mean zone 8b and up.
