Tropical Fruit Discussion / Is terminalia catappa cold hardy?
« on: September 12, 2016, 12:48:36 AM »
Hi
I grew this tropical almond from seed for 2 and half years. Now,it's 6 fleets tall! It has been growing in the greenhouse but with the growing rate I can't keep it in the greenhouse. I had to repot it twice a year. I have read conflicting information how cold tolerance it is. One said it's frost sensitive and other source says it can handle to minimum of 30 degrees. Where I live, it can get down to 30 degrees and below in rare case. Can anyone let me know how cold can it handle? Your response is appreciated.
