If you can't grow broadleaf evergreens, an array of palms and citrus fruits, you're not in a subtropical climate zone.
I'd take the wikipedia entry with a giant grain of salt.
Toronto6A6B, yeah, southern Taiwan can grow coconuts palms quite easily. You can see many of them as far north as Taichung. I even saw one in Taipei in a sheltered alleyway. It looked to be pretty healthy too. I used to live in Tainan, and took special interest in seeing exactly where coconut palms would grow.
