We don't have mountains or hills that high and there are no palmtrees growing there. The climat is too low to grow oranges and palmtrees.
I am sorry but you are wrong.. I have just googled 'orange festival' it takes place around April 30 in Amsterdam, apparently the birthday of the queen, who is from the royal 'orange family' there is lots of info on the web.
Goodmorning loopywren, it is funny how two europian ladies are talking about something a lady from the USA showed.
I didn't know there are palmtrees growing in the south of England. I've seen them in Ireland though.
I have one in my garden and I have a citrus in a big pot but don't dare to let it outside in winter. There are hanging 4 big mellons on the tree. Do you know a way to keep them outside? or do I need a greenhouse? I live in Burgundy France near the Swiss border.
Have a great day, Pinot
