I live on the central coast in Ca. We have some frost in winter. Will this plant survive the frost?

I cannot answer your question right now. I just planted mine here in the US. I previously lived in a tropical country where my first tree was planted. I will see if my plant survives the winter. So far, it looks to be in hibernation.

I live in the San Francisco Bay Area with no frost, this plant is doing great where I live, plant it in a pot and move it indoor during cold winter months.

I live in Nevada, when the temps get into the 30s I cover my plants with burlap and they stay green through the winter months. I keep them outside under a lattice and shade cloth patio year round. As to the previous answer, these plants need a fast draining soil if potted. I use an orchid soil which has little dirt.

There is a Michelia x Alba which is more frost tolerant. I am a Michelia collector. Michelia Alba and Michelia Champaca (grafted is the way you want to go. They are more reliable bloomers as well. 9GreenBox is an excellent vender. They really care a lot. My personal view is that they can take the cold to about 40F but they don't at all like intense, prolonged sunlight especially during heat waves.

I lwouldn't recommend buying it. Mine died shortly after I got it. Waste of money, imo.

It is hardy for zone 9. I live in Southern California. I kept it in the shade for a few months. It was not growing. Once I planted it in direct sun in my backyard, it quickly started to grow and blossom with alot of red flowers. I'm sure you can keep it trimmed. I see why not.

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...

You need to goggle the type of tree you have. Then find out the zone it is tolerant in. Just like any plant they tolerate a maximum temperature and a minimum temperature. Living here in California the shrub does well. So for instance if you live where the temperature gets below the plant tolerance you need to bring it in. Remember when you bring it in does not mean it will do well. You might need some natural light or heat on it. The internet can tell you exactly what your plant needs including water. Good Luck

I'm not sure but I don't believe it will even a light frost will kill it. I lived in LA many years ago and have seen a few frosty days

I'm in Northern Michigan where it is sub zero temps so I purchased it to be a year round indoor plant. I haven't transplanted it.

Pot it and keep it inside until there is no chance of frost. After it has a good root system, it should survive winters just fine.

I can't answer that because I don't know where you live. Here in Kansas City area where it gets cold, no. They will freeze and die. I dig up bulbs and just put them in a can in a cool place like the garage. I do put some in pots and grow them as house plants in winter. They are very easy to keep through the winter. I have had some I didn't dig up come back if we had a mild winter, but you never know. steve

Depends on where in NY. You can be between USDA Zone 3B - 7B in New York State. About the coldest a Myrtle can survive in is Zone 6...and that's only for the hardiest varieties. Short answer, of course Myrtles can survive frost and freezing temps...as long the overnight lows don't go below the -8 to -12°F range. And even down there, you should consider covering small trees with a tarp...otherwise they'll freeze and function as annuals.

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.

Not in the winter. They don't like it below 40 & frost turns them into mush because they hold a lot of water in their fleshy "leaves". Even covered with straw or other mulch, I don't think they could survive Wisconsin winters. One solution is to plant in containers & bring them inside at the first frost warning.

The cold here in Western Washington has not affected the tree, but I did bring it inside when lows were expected to be below freezing. Many new leaves over the past month because of our warm February. No flowers yet. I have had my plant since June of 2014.

Just planted mine in Virginia and so far they have survived 2 frosts. Although I did cover them, but 3 weeks in the ground, so far so good.

I have one in a pot in my porch along with some caladiums and it did just fine during the winter. It came back beautifully during mid spring. I put another in the ground last summer and the temps this winter did drop below freezing. So I'm not sure how the one in the ground will do. I'll update on that one later this spring.

I believe so as long as you make sure the tree is healthy and plant outdoors after any chance of frost. I have not planted mine outdoors yet but it has done very well in a large pot and has more than doubled in size since I received it.

We live on central coast not to cold but the frost does show up some winters would like to know how to heat the greenhouse

I'm hoping yes. This is my tree's first winter...in the garage in New England. That's about the temp of my garage too. It's supposed to be fine, but we'll see in a couple months.
