I don't know where you live, but I live in Oregon. I planted mine last spring and all 10 plants produced many berries. 9 of the plants lived through the winter and are now growing well. I was not, however, impressed with the flavor, size or quality of the berries. I think I will stick to regular red berries.

Hello , by the name , this plant came from the very cold area , I think it will be ok in yours. Try to grow at very sunny location where snow melts fast , and close to your house , the hit helps a lot and the first few years , try to cover it's trunk . Good luck .

Go for it, I am sure the season will be long enough. Besides, what will not planting them yield? :)

I planted it in Spring and it showed a good growth. Then came the Arctic vortex last winter. I thought it was dead and pulled it out and throw in the container of a different tree I planted in its spot. I recognized new growth late summer and plant it to a new spot. I covered new growrh with straw this time. It seems OK after 2 early strong frosts in Tennessee. I cross my fingers. This is a tough little thing I really do not know how to answer. If you do not have strong frosts in your region, it may be good for root growth without stressing the tree.

I can't give you specifics as to your area but they grow in Central Massachusetts as annuals. They get rather large by the end of summer so save the seeds and start over in the early spring.

I assume you are referring to the Northern Plains of which I have little knowledge of in terms of gardening. I would guess your growing season is rather short, but these seed should be fine when compared to any other type seed. I am in the mid Atlantic Zone and have not had any problems other than I think my season is too short for full size watermelons although I do have some nice small ones. I am using US weather zones from Harris Farmer's Almanac for reference as to zones (page 75 in the 2014 edition) Hope this helps

Very cold weather will probably will hurt it. Mine was planted in the San Francisco Bay area and on the coast where in never gets very cold.

It's still early enough to plant. Make sure you use a good fertilized soil and mulch a few inches deep out to about six inches past the root ball diameter. Water every day until the cold comes. I live in MA and put in 1 gallon plants 4 years ago. They are taller than me and almost 3 feet across at the root ball. 5-6 at the widest point of branch swell. Great plants. I have some 4 inch also and they lag about 1-2 years behind the 1 gallon starters. I get them as Xmas gifts and keep inside until spring. Leave in the pot, use a drip tray and water well. These are amazing to watch grow and very beautiful. And they will get big. Figure 5-6 feet for the mature root ball and up to 10 feet tall. I planted tight for dense screening, but could have gone 5-7 feet apart instead of 3. It's all what you want it to do. Look at pics on the web for scale and plant for maturity, not youth. They grow so fast! Enjoy.

o, please ignore previous answer! I was answering about another packet of seeds I bought. most of these seeds should grow in warmer climates, you would just start planting earlier than you would in a more moderate to cold climate.

Yes this is not cold hardy. So if you reach the 30's, take it in. Mine have grown all winter in a sunny window quite well.

I live in zone 9, but googled your zone for black bamboo. It's not recommended, but they list others more suitable to your cold winters.

I started cool weather seeds this week (lettuce,spinach,peas). I'll start other plants probably next week. I watch how cold it will get overnight. If it stays above 32, I figure most seeds will be ok. By the time the little shoots have started coming up, it will be staying warmer at night. I'll bring in geraniums and pansies in the next week or two. I've been in the greenhouse the past few evenings and it is still pretty warm. I always go by Zone 4 for Colo. And I always try to pick perennials that are native to this area. You can't go wrong with any of them. They take the cold weather better. It's always trial and error with these little grow house.
