Sherry, Its always a threat, but its usually its overstated. I said "start to think" suffices to say that if you wear appropriate clothing, there is no worry at all unless you get caught, and thatÂs why we are told to prepare for emergencies in the car and at home. I have had to be outside in really cold weather for hours at a time back in highschool for my job, and I never had any incidence of frostbite (well once, but it was minor). I have lived in the north all my life and there is no risk if you know what to do- frostbite is real threat but really a concern usually. Your skin on your face is sensitive, so it can send you the signals I described but still be perfectly fine Âand for me always is- reversed within moments of getting in a heated area. Just getting cold will make your face muscles go rather stiff  but I have never seen or known of anyone who knew of anyone who had their face frozen off!

Would Just Fruits & Exotics be too far west? They're south of Tallahassee. Excellent selection and prices. Also, don't disregard Home Depot. Most stores up here got an excellent variety of large citrus trees this year with nice grafts, great prices, and that phenomenal 1-year guarantee. Bruce C.

Sorry to have to disagree with a number of these posts, but in my opinion Bob Wine's nursery is absurdly overpriced. I would estimate that their prices are double what other nurseries in the area charge. Unfortunately most of the really fine old-line camellia nurseries in North Central Florida are long gone, but you can still find some good plants at good prices if you look on Craigs List after the first of the year. Most of these small nurseries are 75 to 100 miles north of Ocala, but I'm sure there are growers in all directions.

HaHaHa Yea i know what you mean... im use to it tho trust me. I transplanted 3 20' of trunk trachycarpus fortunei and they were at least 2,000 also. i have a lot of friends and were young... played football n stuff so its hard dont get me wrong but many stong hands make light work... ;) and if anything ill rent a heavyduty bobcat and do the job. but there not close to as heavy as the trunks on my 60' pines and birch trees ive been cutting down for the last week. and i have to some how move at least 20-25' pine logs at least 2 1/2' - 3' thick to build my palapa...they probally weigh around 3-4,000 lbs. thanks for the advise tho im ready and determined tho lol. it will be a lot of work but im ready and its much needed work.thanks again- Justin
