2020/2021 update
« on: January 20, 2021, 02:07:50 PM »
This is my first winter growing "subtropical" fruit trees and plants thanks to all the advice from the forum here. All plants were planted last spring/summer.
This winter was really unsual. Temps were higher than usual and many plants were pushing new growth and then we had 3 days with temps from 24°F to 35°F max with clear sky during the night
So here are the results:

First 2 pics are some Passiflora var flavicarpa from seed that look completely fried... They were protected by oak trees above, but that didnt save them. On the other hand P. edulis showed no damage at all! I have several plants and here is one 2 years old exposed.

Lucuma, sugarcane, surinam cherry, fuerte avocado almost no damage at all (any damage they have is from other reasons)

White sapote, pomelos, mandarins only new leaves were burned. Although a 2inch tall seedling had no damage at all.
Also some cherimoyas that were only 2inches tall had no damage

I have some seedlings that i keps indoors because i was scared. In 2 months i will plant them in the ground. I will also get one El bumpo and one dr. White cherimoya tree. I believe they are doing great in my climate. The seedlings that were left unprotected outside showed no signs of damage, not even leaf drop. and i dont think we will get that cold anytime soon

How low do the seedlings usually take?
Cheers!
