On that, I wonder how Feijoa (Acca) would do? Mine is in a pot,
from seed, and seems much more resistant to frost than the books
say. So was my pomegranate, but that died one winter - the Feijoa
is still going, and I shall be sad when it goes, but I doubt that
it would take a hard frost (by Cambridge standards).

My outlaws had Acca in a Jersey garden but an unusually cold winter
carried it off. We have it here but keep it in a greenhouse. I think
wet feet would probably finish it off here.

Could well be. Mine is in a large pot, in some free-draining JI-style
compost, and I can more-or-less guarantee that it won't waterlog.

I shall have to see if my Erythrina crista-galli comes through this
winter - that IS in the ground, with a bucket of gravel in the hole
before planting :-(
