This Southern Chinese-hats grows in a up-market retirement estate in Pretoria, Gauteng province. Minimum winter temperature in Gauteng is known to drop well below zero. (We have once measured -8C at our Treeshop nursery!) However we believe that minimum temperature in built-up areas and on north facing slopes (as is the case here) is unlikely to drop below 0C. The splendid condition of Keromia speciosa in the image supports our belief. Click on picture to expand
