Think they're not native there at all. Doesn't prevent people from planting them en masse ofc! They certainly seem well suited for that climate, more so that north Texas which can see plenty of freezes. |

What kind of plants need yearly snowpack to survive?

Does anyone know what the most Northerly flowering tree is by latitude ? I think I know, would be happy to be told otherwise ? Perhaps the mountain ash (rowan)? It's pretty common in high latitude continental climates but there might be another candidate that I'm not aware of...  Apparently there are Aussie Snow Gums ( Eucalyptus pauciflora ) growing and flowering at 61*N in Norway ! git-forestry-blog.blogspot.com/2007/06/eucalyptus-flowers-e-pauciflora-in.html |

Forests in Aachen and Frankfurt are nearly the same, except for the common holly (Ilex aquifolium), which is nonexisting in the Frankfurt area but common in Aachen. Dunno if the slightly colder winters in Frankfurt are the cause, maybe something else plays a role too.

How do you distinguish between Boreal and subtropical pines ?

If Snow gums can grow in coastal Norway, they could certainly grow in Vancouver too. I would love to see a lot of them planted around the city. It would give a little bit of a taste of Australia at home  |

Eucalyptus are extremely flammable. Yes but they are so beautiful.. we get enough rain here that there wouldn't be much risk. |

Snow gums like the name says grow in a place where they have regular snowfall in winter. If you look at the climate stats of a place like Thredbo where snow gums grow, it would appear not all that different than Vancouver. The climate here is therefore perfect for them. If you look at Canberra or Melbourne, people there grow lots of deciduous trees even though they have nothing to do with the native flora. People like variety and different things. |

Yeah madrone trees are beautiful. They are my favorite tree in this region. I wish they would be more used in landscaping too. I agree Eucalyptus wouldn't look out of place planted next to madrones. |

Vegetation in a borderline subpolar oceanic (Cfc) /subarctic (Dfc) residential area on a very rainy and misty summer day  Vegetation in another Cfc/Dfc borderline area, this time a little further south not too far from Dfb. This was in May.  This is at an island at 70 N, between Tromsø and Hammerfest, so well north of the other two images. This was also at about 150 m ASL, and the treeline was very low here, so the exact spot where I took this image is a subpolar oceanic/subarctic/tundra (Cfc/Dfc/Et) borderline area. This was even the last week of June, and the birch trees still are just starting to get leafs.  |
