Will this tree do well in Charlotte north Carolina?

Mature trees can take temperatures down to 10 f. However you will have to keep it protected for the first 5 or 6 years.

Honestly, I don't know. I'm trying here in Virginia. We planted three in the spring, with manure. They summered nicely. we just applied some heavy mulch in anticipation of winter. Hope yours and ours do well. Susan Berry

I do not know about how the tree will grow in North Carolina, however, my tree is striving in New Mexico. It has taken firm root and is growing quite tall with lots of green leaves. It is doing well planted out side. Desert heat sees to be good for the tree. This is the first yea.

Yes, I think the tree would love it there. It is another question whether the seller will be able to ship it to Florida. Persimmons can carry the Asian citrus psyllid, which Florida authorities would understandably be more concerned about than the South Carolina ones were. I recall that when I bought this tree it had documentation that it had been inspected, but you might want to check that it's legal to import to your state.

I have the tree in a office in a office building in Chicago that doesn't get much light. It's doing OK. Not great but not dying. It probably needs more sun....

Not to be an ass here, but does no one have access to the Internet to search and investigate? So, to do the work for people, here's the information on this particular tree. I would suggest one looks up any plant for it's success in their yard: http://www.pfaf.org/user/Plant.aspx?LatinName=Eucalyptus+gunnii And to answer your specific question, no, for zone 4-5, and starting it indoor to plant in zone 4 or 5 would be pointless.

I live in NY/NJ and I bought this plant. I have it in a front window with plenty of sunlight. I just transplanted to a larger pot and it is growing very nicely. I would think it should be OK.

Hello , by the name , this plant came from the very cold area , I think it will be ok in yours. Try to grow at very sunny location where snow melts fast , and close to your house , the hit helps a lot and the first few years , try to cover it's trunk . Good luck .

I think so but it depends on how wide it is. It covers my 10'x5'x3' box with some to spare. It is pretty durable but light and might fly away in wind. If you attached grommets you could weave rope under the tree to hold it on. Wish I could have an avocado tree. Good luck.

I live in CT, planted my tree last fall and it survived the crazy winter we experienced without being covered. So based on my experience I would say no the frost will not kill it.

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.

Go ahead and plant it. You are probably warm enough for it to survive the winter. If there is going to be a cold snap I would cover it. We live in RI and bring it in during the winter.

I wouldn't want to count on it. The roof fabric is quite thin but it served us well during a recent church event.We live in coastal South Carolina so snow has not been an issue.Good luck!WBG

I only bought mine earlier this year so it hasn't been through a cold snowy winter here yet but I think it will stand up to it quite well. It's a very thick two ply plastic with mesh between the layers. I think it would do great in SC.

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.

It will hold up, but you probable need to stain yearly. The wood gets dry in the winter and would start to rot if we did not stain prior to each summer.

So far that's what I am doing. I am in Boston so I know how the weather can be tricky. The tree is very small and won't bear fruit for awhile (couple years even) but it seems healthy and happy. (pictures can be deceiving) In the cold months keep it inside near a window with lots of light and warmth and keep it watered so it doesn't dry out. When it's warmer like now, I have mine on my enclosed front porch. Makes for almost a greenhouse when it's very warm, and I think it really loves that! I've noticed some new leaves growing already!! Good luck if you decide to go with it. I would say it's worth the try! So far that's what I am doing. I am in Boston so I know how the weather can be tricky.

Yes it will. I have an oak tree in my front yard and the acorns and the leaves were eaten and mulched!

No, I didn't cover the tree during the winter and it still doing fine through the winter here at Long Island, NY. Very easy care plant.
