I guess we'll see how this thermo-syphon idea works. I have my doubts but hopefully I get lucky. I'm planning on moving out to Vancouver Island next spring, which should be far more maple-friendly.

Must have been a case of wishful reading. Have you had much luck in Zone 4 with palmatum? I'd imagine that St-Hyacinthe on average a little more humid than Calgary, which helps. I was in the area once years ago when I was kid and remember it being fairly windy.

I have feeling that my balconey is going to be too blustery but I'll think of something. Thank you again, M. Devaux.
