And Banana's are a tropical crop as far as I knew, our banana's are brought in by boat from Central America
Bananas are also a subtropical crop, and are cropped in semiarid, mediterranean and oceanic climates as well. Bananas can't be used to define a climate.

I think I may have also seen a loquat as well.
Strawberries are another crop that won"t grow in these parts, they are also mainly grown in Pac NW and New England

I think strawberries can be grown quite easily over winter in CA and AZ. They don't take long to grow and are annual plants. In fact I've bought CA strawberries in winter here.

but here is the map showing where there is and isn't permafrost.


Most (by volume) of Russia's oil deposits are on and in the Arctic ocean. That Ural stuff is minor.

I mean, in this modern age, you don't nessecarily have to live at places where agriculture is possible. Nevertheless, in places north of the 60th parallel, polulation growth is mostly negative (Iceland is an exception).


Cold and darkness will give some explanation but there should be more reasons.


Any ideas?
Yeah...it's pretty simple. It's too ****ing cold...LOL.
