Would the Phoenix Arizona climate be suitable for this tree?

hey there...I am from the east where the seasons change rapidly...it is NOT dry here. But they say trees will grow anywheres

Yes, it likes the sun. Since I live in AZ, however, I gave it a little protection in its first year by planting it just behind a post supporting our porch roof. It is already branching hardily around the post, looking very happy to be here.

Zone 9 is within the growing zone for this plant (zones 6-9) and this is the zone for Phoenix/Scottsdale. See http://www.missouribotanicalgarden.org/PlantFinder/PlantFinderDetails.aspx?kempercode=q280. I'm in Texas Zone 8 and the plant is happy growing on my fence in a lot of sun. You might want to watch how much sun it will get where you plant it as you are hotter than we are here. Asking the grower is probably your safest bet. Keep in mind it's a perennial and dies back when it gets cold.

It is a tree and should survive texas heat. They are shipped from Florida so similar weather. Sad to say my tree did not survive. I think it was something I did though because the tree was very healthy when I got it. I don't think it got enough water. Hope this helps

Sorry, I don't know if it would or not. I am only familiar with the climate around Pittsburgh, PA. I would suggest contacting someone at a botanical garden in your area or in the Botany Department of your local university for an answer.

That's hard for me to say. The dichondra is growing in low light with little water. It's growing well in morning sun with water. I planted this second patch in September and it is doing well as of December. I haven't watered it since getting it established so it's survived on natural rainfall. My mother grew dichondra in El Paso so I suspect this will work in Phoenix. I'm on the Texas coast so we're much more humid over here.

I wish I could answer that for you but my tree only lasted for about 4 months. I think that would be directly correlated with where you live. Lemon trees love tropical, hot and humid environments. Also, they need a lot of sunlight. Hope this helps.

Like many websites I've read and actual advice included with the tree, it suggests 2-2.5 hours of direct sunlight a day. If you have that tempered glass in your home that isn't direct sunlight. Simply place it outside during your work day and it will be fine. I live in Arizona and its fine even in this heat during the heat...in fact I think it likes the heat.

I think you will be fine. I take just the cylinder off during the winter (very simple and easy to do on my cold frame) because i don't think it would take the brutal NY winter. Not knowing much about your conditions, i would expect that AZ in winter is similar to NY in spring when i start my plants. There are nights that go below freezing and I've never had an issue.

Good Day Mr. Taylor, I live in Tacoma, WA and we do not experience the temperatures you do in Arizona. My guess is that they would do just fine and you would have no problem. I would recommend purchasing just on package and see what happens. That way your not out a lot of money and you can keep them in a cooler place at home and use them on the Barbie there. Hope that helps you and wishing you the very best of the holidays.

Here, in Arizona we get 110+ summer temperatures, though not much humidity. My unit handles it great.

I'm in zone 5. The tree was pretty small when it arrived last fall, but it lived through our winter, which killed other plants

I believe it can because of the climate. Just remember to give it water so often, and shade daily

I am in South Carolina, and our temps drop too low in the winter. You might be successful if you are able to keep it indoors through the colder season, which this tree is supposed to make a good ornamental tree, and do well indoors. you can find instructions online how to do this. :-)

I am not positive as I live in CA and our weather here is pretty moderate. I would probably check with your local University's Horticulture Dept or Nursery or Garden Center. Good luck.

According to all the plant books I have read the Hardiness Zone for Central Maryland has been listed as: 4 - 9 (-20 degrees F). Yes, you should be able to grow this plant in your area. The plant is prone to root rot if planted in too moist soil. Plant in well drained, neutral to alkaline soil, in a sunny area. Plant can withstand some foot traffic, but not much. I wouldn't make a habit of walking on it.

I don't see any reason why it would not respond well in zone 7. I live in Phoenix, and the only area the dichondra is not growing as well is in direct sunlight all day. Therefore, I think it would grow well in a more temperate climate.
