Bigger pot the better. You can also fool the trees to flower and fruit in fall winter time if you bring it inside. Fruits in 2 seasons. Experiment. Thanks

Hi...I live in 7B so I have to bring it in in the winter to avoid the cold. (it has actually done better inside than outside, producing almost constant blooms.) it seems to do best in Bright sun. As it is in a large pot, mine has reached about 4 ft high by 3 feet wide. A word of caution...the flowers tend to stick to things as they drop.

depends where in texas you live, you can plant it in a large pot and move it in, at least for the first year or two

shouldn't be a problem but it depends on strain, veg time, training methods. I had two 7 gal pots, two ten gal tubs, 3 five gal tubs and 5 gal bucket, with a 48 X 24 tent in a corner.

I live in Georgia, so we don't have severe winters, but it does get cold. I put my potted plants in my garage. The garage door has a row of windows, so the plants get sun, but aren't directly in the cold...no risk of frost or freeze. Make sure there's mulch around the plant, and maybe you could cover it with clear plastic to keep it warmer. Just some thoughts...

Yes! I have one in a very large pot. I water daily and keep it in the shade. In winter I put it in the garage when it goes dormant for the winter.

In NY I was very successful planting indoors , then out after danger of frost. Only one lived over the winter however.BR

well to be honest it depends on how old the plant is. My mother had an old one and it came back every year in the spring, I am in MO so sometimes we do have a hard winter. but mine are still very young so I have them in pots and will bring them inside for the winter. Hope this helps.

Yes! We live in upstate NY. I bring my plants in during the cold winter months. I place them under simple round grow lights. They did well this last winter. They need a about 6 weeks of cool fall evenings (around 40 degrees F) without freezing temps. in order to flower.

Yes, but I would work my way up to larger pots. Start with a smaller pot and work your way up in size each year. This way you can water it prperly.

Home depot has large pots for $20. Since it doesn't freeze in, Florida it works out well. You will want to put it in the biggest pot possible. I hope this helps.

I'm not an expert in this area, but I think they have a chance. These quick growing trees are evergreens and like a lot of water in the growing season. I would plant it 2 - 4 inches deeper than the apparent soil-line to avoid freezing. The instructions recommended growing the tree inside for the first year. My plant has grown very well and recently sprouted new shoots (in the fall/winter season....indoors).I really like the tree.................

If your area has well-draining soil, you can consider planting it in the ground,but the plants sold don't seem to have been sun-hardened yet: they haveto be gradually introduced to full sun. As others have said, pots allow youto move the plant out of the way of filthier weather/seasons.

If I remember correctly, this plant does not come in a pot. Transfer it to a pot with some good soil and keep it in the warmest room in your house. Keep the soil just a bit moist until spring. Plant it outside when there is no longer frost in the morning.
