Hi SunshineSue,

That's great to hear you had a wonderful visit. My otherhalf insists we go to White Rock atleast once a year for a barbi-on-the-beach. Funny you say you are envious of my zone as I spent a few hours this weekend looking for a warmer Canadian Zone to move to (9a). The climate here has it's good and bad. 5 months of constant rain and "gloom" is depressing. If you get the Monkey Puzzle Tree, ensure it gets cool temps (10-15 C) and minimal frost with moist air. I have seen the tree in zone 6 and 7 with protection from dry/wind. It would make a fine houseplant for now as long as you remember it hates hot/dry. I see you went to Stanley Park - at the entrance to the Lion's Gate Bridge there were 2 Monkey Puzzle Trees. Then they decided to repave one side and ruined the roots. The one died. Happy Monkey Puzzle Tree growing!
