I live in the Bay area, between Oakland and San Jose. Will this plant grow in my area?

To be honest with you... I haven't planted mine yet. I ordered my Butterfly Weed at the end of last summer, I won't plant mine till this spring. My neighbor has this Butterfly Weed & it comes back every spring. I live in south Georgia where it can get not just hot but humid as well. Not sure if that helps you..

Absolutely. In fact it will thrive in that location. You may even be able to direct seed and I would image it will naturalize in your climate. I would suggest starting some indoors as well as direct seeding just to be safe. Good luck and thank you for helping to save our Monarch Butterfly population in North America!

I have one (its about 3 months old now) and I live just South of Seattle. Currently, it is in my windowsill and doing just fine and I have heard that you can plant them outside as well as they are very hardy! So, a definite yes to indoor growing and a tentative yes if you want to put it outside. :)

My YT&T; planting is in Central Florida. Survived Summer. Just starting to Bloom. Plant now should be okay in Houston. As in Florida...Sun means not direct sun.

Yes, but I repotted it as is my usual practice when receiving plants via mail. I have kept the plant in the garage this winter, as I live in zone 6A-5B. We shall see how hardy the plant is come warmer weather.

I don't know if it will grow in Phoenix, but it does grow beautifully in Rockwall, TX. We are in zone 8. Going into it's second winter and looking good.

I'm in CA too. I have mine in a pot that I move to a warmer area when it gets below 35 at night. I forgot to move it one night a few weeks ago when it hit 30 degrees and I've been struggling to keep it alive ever since. If it survives, I will put it inside under a grow light next Winter. Not sure what the plan is when/if it gets bigger.

I Live in Florida, I can say that here it grows very fast and the tree is incredible healthy and beautiful. I suggest you to check in this page for the hardiness zones , http://www.arborday.org/media/zones.cfm. this tree is recommended for zones 8 to 10 but if you has a green house or you dint want it grow as a tree I know people who as it in a big pot in a sun room. Good luck. I hope it grow well.

Probably not if you just plant and leave it. Beware, this is a coastal redwood and requires winter protection. If you want to try something to plant in the ground shoot for dawn redwood. This has a better chance.

I would check out : http://www.tvfool.com/ first,,, If I remember San Jose south od SF primarily up the Bay I would think it would be OK. I am high on a ridge behind 3 others, with tall evergreen trees All OVER. Get very Good reception. But take your time and check tv fool. Amazon will take it back i think within 30 days. Check on that first too.

I have had my persimmon one year and a few months now. It has lots of leaves, hasn't really grown taller but has some more leaves than last year. I haven't gotten fruit yet. We live in a warmer part of downtown santa cruz. It is a lot warmer than SF. That's all I can tell you at this point!

I live in the panhandle of FL. The temperature here my drop to the low 20's at times. This past winter was extremely cold and we even had enough ice to close down schools. The plant faired well through it all and is doing fine. When I received it the top broken from the transport and I was worried the damage would possibly kill it. My fuyu seems to be doing fine so far and I hope to be seeing fruit next year. I don't believe you will have any issues with it in Ca. Good luck.

I have a Chaya plant but the weather where I live is hot. San Diego is a cold place so I don't know how well it would grow there.

Depends on where you live. I live in Ky and I can get it to grow spring and fall

I haven't planted the seeds yet, too cold yet in Kansas. I intend to plant when the soil warms up and all chance of frost is past. From the research I did I believe this is one of the tallest species but have heard it is very invasive. I will find out!

I have no idea if it would grow in NY. I can say for certain it doesn't grow in perfect weather in California. As far as I am concerned these people are a total scam
