Lmao, nice attempt. No other subtropical climate on earth other than east Asia can compare with the lushness and thickness of the vegetation here in the US south. Show me some pics of Malta natural lushness, you can't Malta is natural scrub land due to the lack of life giving rain. While you type this a tropical storm is overhead of me, dropping life giving rains that originated at tropical latitudes.

I don't understand why some people are so utterly obsessed with a subtropical climate being a "fail" because it experiences a couple of cold days a year, just bizarre! That's the nature of sub tropical climates, they're NOT tropical.

Malta is dry summer subtropical silly billy...

Still we can grow proper tropical plants here, with a record low of 35F & USDA zone 11a, you can have as much lushness as you want, you just have to water in the summer

yes, something you don't have, for tropical type lushness and thickness, you also need hot temps. None of the plants you grow except for drought tolerant ones would survive without irrigation.

No hot temps? lol...

You are funny & it's quite obvious what the 12 in your username represents

But back on topic please (Malta has nothing to do with Louisiana, or the US south)

Where in the post did I say Malta did not have hot temps. . I just stated you also need hot temps to oppose your statement that the hot summers do nothing for us. Your failing hard at your attempt to troll, not working at all.lmao.

While some of the vegetation of the South looks fantastic, I've yet to see photos from there that would match the levels of lushness and thickness that I'm used to here.

I think of it as relatively sparse by moist subtropical standards.
