Growing Pygmy Date Palms in Riverview
Riverview is USDA Zone 9b, with the Alafia River and the bay near Gibsonton giving the western edge a little more winter protection than FishHawk and the open land east of US 301. Frost is possible several nights a winter in the newer inland subdivisions, so we plant cold-hardy palms and hedges that shrug it off. Salt is only a concern for the few lots right on the bay near Gibsonton and Apollo Beach.
