A number of Forums Members have discussed growing Luc's Garcinias on the Forums for a few years now.
What has been your experience with them vs cold weather in, say, zone 9b?
How large do they seem to need to get before they start to show some cold tolerance?
I have several Luc's that I'd lke to plant out but they are only about a foot tall with ten or so pairs of leaves and they are in 1 gallon pots with the roots just now starting to creep out thru the drainage holes of their pots. So I think that they are maybe about ready to plant out but I'm not sure. (Anyway, surely by next March.)
If planted out now I figure that if need be I can cover them well if we get some cold weather and they should make it thru a couple degrees of a light freeze if it is brief.
Suggestions? Advice?
TIA
Paul M.

PS — I also have G. intermedia and G. brasiiensis that are about the same height as the Luc's and in 1 gallon pots.
