Growing vanilla
(Bill Oliver) wrote in message ...
I will likely be moving to the mountains
of northern Georgia in the near future.
The average high in January is 49.8 deg F
(extreme high around 70 between 1949-2003), and
the average low 28.5 (extreme low around -10
between 1949-2003). The average high in
July is 89.3 (extreme 102), and the low 65.7
(extreme around 45). Avg total ppt: 57.9 inches/
year (min 3.6 in Aug, max 6.3 in Mar). Avg
snow: 1.9 inches/year (max 0.8 in Jan).
Are there any varieties of vanilla that
will grow in that climate?

Hawai'i is growing them as a cash crop. And it is said to be the
finest in the world.
Cheers,
