I live in San Francisco, and although temperate the weather here is neither hot nor cold, will this work? or would you recommend another variety

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 would recommend contacting the company. They are very responsive. I talked to them for advice when we first purchased the trees - and they have a 3 year warranty. We kept our trees in the basement for the winter (turned way too cold right after we purchased them) and then planted them this spring. They are already blooming. We had purchased Fuyu trees from another source and they didn't leaf out until the autumn, and one died. So far we are pleased. And we don't like the regular persimmons but love the Fuyu variety. Good luck!

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!

It's worth a try. Obviously, the evaporation rate is going to count a lot here, since that is how you get your cooling. Worth a shot.

I would think this should work fine. I have used this for several years with no issues in hot or cold weather.

It should not be an issue. I am not sure what the cold rating is. It gets down to -20f here and they work fine.

It definitely works during warm weather, and I think it would work anytime if the solution you're using isn't too watered down, that it would freeze as soon as it hits the air. Great little machine!!

A little difficult to predict. I live near the SF Bay area where we have varying degrees of humidity particularly in the winter when it can be rainy. My guess is that it will probably be ok if you apply something like a teak oil once or twice a year, as it will be protected from the rain.

I just shot it with the infrared thermometer it's 113 deg. and toasty on my feet. It's 42 out side w/ 27% humidity & 33 with the wind chill. Should work great for plants (or the tomato seedlings in the window anyway) but be sure to keep them watered and in some sun-light, the heat will cause quicker evaporation. try putting potting cups in a shallow sheet pan and place the pan on the pad add water to the pan as needed, the water may hold the heat transferred a little better.

Hi Philip, I use it in similar weather conditions, Paraguay ( hot and humid ) and it gives me great results. I´m sure it will be very helpful to you, go for it.

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.

I really don't have experience using it in FL weather/humidity. It has worked well for us in less heat/humidity.

Hi Matt, I am in Concord Calif. and have heat in the triple digits several times in the summer, and the two I have up remain fairly comfortable. You have a drier heat and I would guess you should visit a store that sells them near you, and ask them to get a response from anyone who has purchased one in your area.

Yes absolutely. I have never used mine for temperatures that high....but I went to my Cool Bot just now and adjusted it and it will go up to 59 degrees. I love the Cool Bot...wish they had a freezer version!!!! I have used this air conditioner: FEDDERS az7r24e7a I have bought 4 of these so far on the internet and they are perfect.

I'm not sure beause we live in So. Cal. I do remember that my husband said it heats up very quickly and some food gets really hot. I think it would work even in cold weather.

I would not expect any problem from being in a temperate zone, as long as you do not leave it on the dashboard of a closed, parked car in the sun - - - or something similar.

I'd say the coat is perfect for those temps. It will keep you warm without being too hot. I'd use a good, breathable under layer too.

Yes this kit will work in all conditions. This is an outstanding kit for all weather types and first aid needs.

I do not live in a climate that gets that cold and cannot tell you how it will perform at that temp range.
