Can I plant my Norfolk Island Pine in the yard to use as a living Christmas tree?

Unfortunately Norfolk Island Pines are tender to cold and will eventually freeze here during a normal winter. Bring your tree in when freezing weather is forecast- they can be grown outside in protected areas in central Florida and throughout the southern part of our state. In our area Leyland Cypress, Deodar Cedar, Red Cedar, and various upright Junipers would make good outdoor living Christmas trees.
