Miami does have a tropical climate.

I know what I say is fact and I'm not going to debate it with you or anyone so we gonna have to agree to disagree. Plus, you claim you are not going to read my response but you obviously did because you clearly had an opinion on what I said. Get your troll game up man, it's kinda weak dude but I believe in you

And no, Miami does NOT have a tropical climate and it's not up for debate.

LOL. Triggered much, bruh.

For someone bragging about all his science reading, your reading comprehension... eh... not so good, bruh.

This is not scientific, but, we could not successfully grow some truly tropical species outdoors due to cold temperatures during the winter. An example would be the red sealing wax palm, Cyrtostachys renda. Of course a warm microclimate might succeed, but, we tried several times, even keeping this swamp loving palm in one of the pools. The nights got too cold and some years, a strong cold front would come down to Miami, bringing temps in the 30's. Fairchild is about 1/2 mile inland from Biscayne Bay. Staff considered the climate to be subtropical.

I don't really understand why this is a debate. The scientists that actually did the climate classifications have Southeast Florida firmly tropical, not sub tropical. It's based on very real data. Internet experts trying to argue against it comes off as silly to me. If they believe that so much, then by all means, submit research papers for peer review and get the classification changed. Until then, it's tropical, not subtropical.

pop, there's a trick to growing sealing wax.....I know you don't need it up there

Sealing wax is sensitive to temps below 70...it's not the cold that does them in....they get a "cold weather fungus"...for lack of a better word....it's the fungus that kills them

Mancozeb has always been the fungicide of choice....and spray once a month...Dec, Jan, Feb, Mar

...some growers switched over to Propizol....it's systemic...claim they are getting much better results..using it as a pot drench.....I don't know
