That’s amazing that you can grow oleander in France, Ilya! I always thought France had very cold snowy winters. I’m used to oleander only growing in coastal regions of the southeastern US, and know it’s too cold for them in our mountains. I’ve learned that the Mediterranean coast of France is rather tropical and am amazed by that too since France is so much further north of North Carolina. Our different continental weather conditions, the effects of the gulf stream, etc, are truly amazing. The posts of the palms and citrus growing in Switzerland blow my mind too. Thanks for your informative posts and pics!
