Any updates on Maranga, Cempedek, Pedalai. I'm bumping this year old thread, because it appears like tonight will be the coldest night so far this year, 40F in sunrise, fl tonight..
I have about 10 Marangs, 10 Cempedeks, 5 Pedali, all less than a year old. I started with many more, but these are the survivors(I did sell some too). The Pedali seems to be the most cold tolerant of all three. About half my Marangs have died after a few nights in the 50's, same story with Cempedaks, about half. But all my Pedali's are going strong, even putting on a new flush about a month ago. I started everything two batches(summer and fall), and the ones I germinated in summer also seem to have better cold tolerance, in general.
I've taken the strategy that I'm not going to take any protective measures to keep the seedlings warm, I want the ones with true cold tolerance...
Would be interested to hear more from members about their more cold sensitive artocarpus.
