I have a potted one indoors that is beautiful. The other one is outside, and it's too early for me to tell if it will come back well from the winter. I'm in Atlanta, GA.

I believe that this plant will take as low as -10. If it does get frost bite I would think that the roots will survive. Does it hit that temp? Pierre...

If i am not wrong, isn't whole of Georgia more of a subtropic with mild winters ? this is a hardy vine, it does not need chilling/freezing hours either, it can very well establish as an evergreen vine, I have grown it in climates without chill. But make sure it does not get hot, it cannot take warmer climates ( anything above 90 F would be an alarm for me ) So answer is yes, if the summer gets too hot in there, then put the plan somewhere where it gets full winter sun but only partial summer sun ( like morning time only .. etc ) Oh also, without decisive winter, fruiting takes a bit of hit, but it does still fruit . hope this helps !!

You an replant it as soon as the weather is warm enough. I would think it would do ok at about 65 to 70 degrees. They like a lot of sun and hot weather to really take off but would do ok at these temps.

Sorry I don't know. I'm a resident of Virginia. Mine is a house plant. Doing very well. Not a fast grower.

Keep in doors the tree cannot handle extreme cold if you live in Minnesota it gets extremely cold here but below Iowa it can handle that climite

I've being growing these for decades, and my experience has been that this Caribbean native grows best when days are hot an humid. Perhaps great for the mountains of Columbia below 2000 ft.

I live in California, zone 9 and have it planted outside through the winter. The first year it lost all its leaves after the frost and I was worried it had died. I also had to replant it due to problems with the soil. This is it's second winter and it held up very well. No fruit yet, I am not expecting any for a couple of years. I have it positioned where it has some protection from cold winds. I previously had it planted out in the open, so this may have made a difference.

It seems to work well. Stick it in the ground and you get a temperature. In realty it is probably not necessary here in the South, where you need to just be patient and recognize that you have an extraordinarily long growing season. More relevant in the cold climates.

My tree is now all brown and brittle. Don't know why. For several months it was growing fine and had visible new growth. Then it just stopped growing and everything turned brown, within a few days. Startling. I was advised to try putting it outside but I didn't see any improvement. Then the weather starting getting cold so I brought it back inside. I was also advised that this is really an outside plant. I would not recommend it for an office. Even in a house with the windows open and good sunlight and good humidity, mine didn't make it. Still am taking care of it. But my hope is waning that there will be a comeback. The Winter in Minnesota was not a factor.

Sorry, I don't know if it would or not. I am only familiar with the climate around Pittsburgh, PA. I would suggest contacting someone at a botanical garden in your area or in the Botany Department of your local university for an answer.

I live in Northern Michigan and had to bring my tree inside for the winter. Unfortunately it did not survive. I did everything i was supposed to do but it did not make it. I was quite disappointed especially when I paid almost three times the cost of the tree for shipping. I purchased my tree from Lemon Citrus Trees. As far as your location, I don't know your temperatures down there. Best bet is to call the company where you bought the tree. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.Patricia

I'm probably not the best person to answer that question. Living in Ormond Beach, Florida, frost is generally not a problem for us. My suggestion is that you contact the Davidson family at DAS Farms who initially grew the tree. I believe they are located in Alabama. Their e-mail is dasfarmstn@yahoo.com. Hope you can get an answer. Joe Stock

I live in Louisiana, but we did have below freezing weather this year and my planter held up find. Don't know about snow though.

We planted ours in Modoc County of California at 4700' altitude...... high desert. I don't know about Carolina's climate, etc. but our area generally cools at night and is dry with summer temperatures about 90 degrees maximum in the day with most days at mid 80's.... or high 70's.. quite pleasant. You might try calling the Dirty Gardener's number (253-383-5014). I spoke with Jean and she was very helpful. I wish I had called before we planted..... we'd have done it differently and with greater success but even so, we're quite likely to use it again at our rental next door in the spring. I hope this is helpful. We planted ours in Modoc County of California at 4700' altitude...... high desert.

So far, it's lasted outside past few weeks in jersey in the cold no problem. It's a small worthy investment. Can't hurt to try it out. Do research on the specific species of the tree for the most accurate info.

I'm from San Jose, CA and the tree survived when the temperature dropped below the freezing point last year. If it's long term, I would suggest covering it at night. But a few nights don't harm the plant.
