On the East Coast? I think that a bit of a stretch given what grows on the SC coast from Charleston on down thru the GA border. Hilton Head Island alone can grow more subtropical plants than London hands down.
Heck even Myrtle Beach has CIDP and washingtonia palms, citrus, etc.
Are you sure about that?
The CIDP palms stay year round? You are not confusing Washingtonias with those ones?
And citrus? Is hardly to me to think about that as 4 months registered lows under -11ºC, and January even -16ºC, the winter lows are similar to Madrid and the minimum extremes in Madrid are much warmer; in Madrid there doesn't grow any citrus at all, only loquats. Maybe you're confusing the CIDPs with Jubaeas? Which are very similar but hardier? I say this because a CIDP starts to die at -9ºC/15,8F.

yup. Citrus grows quite well in Augusta Georgia even and I have pics to show you. Never protected. You know those Seville Orange trees lining the streets of Seville, they have those in Augusta GA. When I get home I will post pics of some of the palms in Myrtle.

You well underestimate, as I once did, the ability of citrus to harden off or go into deep dormancy in climates that are quite cold in winter but still have enough warm days. You have to remember that in places like Myrtle and Augusta, GA and Columbia SC the days in winter have avg high temps in the 50'sF and sunshine.

I would like to see those pics
Those oranges from the streets are very popular here, in Valencia I think there are even more than in Sevilla, and they have them also in Barcelona which is at 41ºN, but still i'm surprised to hear them there!

I have street viewed CIDP in Wilmington even and know of one as far north as morehead city.

They have them in Milan Italy also. Alas, we are far too cold for them here in winter. Milan I think is zone 8a which is just enough for some citrus.
