I want to buy this tree; however, if it is deciduous and has to be outside all the time, will it survive a North Dakota Zone 3 winter?

I don't know what a North Dakota zone 3 winter is defined, ( did not check the internet) But, according to what I have read in the Bonsai Basics by Colin Lewis, the Satsuki Azalea will tolerate full sun for a while but but will perform at their best if kept in semi shade, or even full shade during mid-summer. The flowers also last a lot longer in semi-shade. In winter, protect from wind at al times and bring the tree into a frost- free garage or shed if tempertures threaten to stay below -5 degrees C or (23 degrees F) for more than a day or so.

I don't think so. I have tried two in Alabama and both failed to live more than a few weeks.

I got this tree for my boyfriend's birthday. He watered it and waited for it to bloom but it never did. Eventually it died.

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.

It is really hardy-comes back after 40 below winters. However, it will need consistent watering. You don't have to drown it, just be regular in your watering schedule.

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'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.

I planted our tree in March (in central Texas) and it did great. If you protect it from any hard freeze you may have, I bet it will be fine to plant now.

I bring mine to a heated(during cold spells) screen porch . It will do fine inside provided you mist it and give it humidity. It really does best outside. DO an internet search for the plant regarding its care. I would search Nepenthes. It does not go dormant. Living in Florida does give one an advantage.

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.

Hi I live in NJ and we can get a lot of snow in winter time. I planted mine on the ground and it's thriving well. I also have a bigger one now 4 yrs old. Both are planted on ground.

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 .

It is a tree and should survive texas heat. They are shipped from Florida so similar weather. Sad to say my tree did not survive. I think it was something I did though because the tree was very healthy when I got it. I don't think it got enough water. Hope this helps

I think 5a is too cold. I am in 6a and during the last three years almost the whole tree froze and the shoots started almost from the ground in the spring. I protected the tree with leaves, burlap and tar and it did not help. If you want the fig tree that much, you could try since it is not very expensive, but be prepared for the worst.

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.

The tree is doing great in the hot Texas summer-lots of branches, about 4 feet high now. It will be fine in the mild winter weather we have here. Not sure how it will do in harsher winter weather though. I am very happy we purchased it.

Good day I think it can survive the cold weather because I bought mine in the cold weather and it is growing well but just try to get Shipp on speed to insure the life of the plant
