How do you think this plant would do in Texas?

Yes it will do well in some places in Texas. The climate has to be warm for at least 80 degrees in order for it to survive. Even with just a little frost will kill it.

I intend to plant my seeds in Florida mid state, when it gets lower than 50 degrees I plan on making like a bit of a greenhouse around it, for those few days.

As long you provide a tropical, frost-free growing environment, growing a soursop tree isn't difficult. Known as guanabana across its native range of Central America and the West Indies, this evergreen tree matures with a rounded canopy around 25 feet tall and equally wide. The soft spines on the green, football-shaped fruits protect a cottony white, aromatic, edible flesh, which is used for juice or making ice cream. In the tropical garden, soursop makes an attractive shade or accent tree that doubles as a fruit tree.

I am waiting til Spring to plant, I have no idea. If you have have high winds and very cold winters I would put in sheltered environment or greenhouse.

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

I would agree with everything said here. By accident, I grew Papayas in my garden (seeds were from thrown out vegetable/fruit scraps) and in a couple of months I had beautiful papaya trees, only to be destroyed in one frost. Tropical plants will die at the first sign of a freeze. Plan on some kind of protection, whether it be a greenhouse or taking the plant indoors when temperatures do down.

My guess is they would grow better in San Diego, than the desert of Arizona. Not real sure though.I never received mine, requested a refund yesterday.Good luck

Mine was grown in east TN and we had temps in the low 90's.I would think it would do fine(it was planted in a shady area)

It's growing in Houston, Texas during the middle of the summer. Keep it moist and protected while it's getting established. My mother grew dichondra in El Paso. That's where I learned to love it.

I live in southern Ohio and the plants does well here. It dies back in the fall but comes back in the summer. They like plenty of sunshine.

I live in NM and my grandpa grew it here. I bought the seeds to put it on the other side of my yard and it seems to do good with same amount of water as I give my lawn. I may just have Grandpa's green thumb i don't know.

I live in Texas and my plants went long periods of time without water and didn't do too well. They are relatively drought tollerant, but not for months at a time and they need a little sun as well.

I am not really able to help you with an answer to that question. 1. I beloved the thrive in warmer/ humid climates. 2. I have yet to plant mine. 3. Anything is possible you may need to be a bit creative. And 4. I live in Texas which is a little different from Virginia.

That's where they should grow best. Especially northern Midwest and Canada. This was a very small plant they sent though. The one I got did not survive.

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

It is an invasive species in most of the south. Grows like wild fire. ... just plant like you would any other outdoor plant. Just keep it controlled.

Mine is inside in Pennsylvania. It's outside now in 80 degree sunshine, and loves the rain, however I have had a few problems with it drying, it doesn't like full sun. I hope this helps out a little bit! It's a hardy plant. I've sat it out in the sun and it didn't rain for a couple days before I realized it needed water. The plant has grown back even when I thought it was dead.

Yes but it depends on where you're at and where you have them. I'm in Texas (Dry, hot and humid climate) but my plants are kept indoors in front of a window.

I had a lemon tree when we lived in Texas and it was a patio plant once the weather got warm, I would bring it inside for the winter and it would rebloom and produce more lemons. It's a delightful plant and smells so good when it's blooming, I had my in morning sun inside. Hope this helps.

I really don't know if it will grow in a hot climate. Keep it watered often and it should be alright.

Probably not unless you bring it inside whenever the temps are going to be lower than 10 to 15 degrees. Colorado is hardiness zones 3a to 7a. This plant needs to be in zone 8 or higher to survive outside year round. And you didn't state which part of Colorado.
