Sure.
You must compare plants of the same age, health etc..but to observe the plants is a good tool to understand the local microclimate...I mean, where Lemons trees surivive, Olives won't die for cold...

I think comparison among different species is the only way to understant where a "rare" plant could survive..

P.s.

Bacon should be more cold-hardy than Hass, but less than Mexicola.....I hope the label matches with the cultivar..

None of North California or another "not warm winter place" could give us his experiences ?

Do lemons trees suffer during winter ? did they ever lose their leaves and "Super-cold hardy" Avovado not?

Thanks for the info....
Here, in North Italy, I think bloom would not take place before April-May, when temperatures don't drop below 32°F......
The problem should be during winter...I was wondering, if in a place where Mandarins survive and bear fruits, could Mexicola live ??
You told us Mexicola should not be the most cold-hardy Avocado....but this is the only One sold in Europe !!!

But do you also have Mexicola Avocado ? Was it damaged ?

I'd like to know if somone had Mexicola Avocado, Lemons, Sweet Orange and Tangerine if, after a cold spell, Mexicola had more (or less) damage of each of them...

As I know, for Citrus Lemons is tender than Sweet Orange, that is tender than Tangerine, that is Tender than Satsuma, that is tender than Olive etc.....

If someone, after cold spell, had all Lemons died, Sweet Orange with sever leaves damage, Tangerine & Mexicola with minor leaves damage, and Olive no damage, i'd have more information than "Mexicola survived a single digits (F) temperature"...

I would know that Mexicola is more resistant than Lemon, less than Olive and is more or less cold-hardy as Tangerine....

I know it's not a simple question...but I hope all of you could give us their informations

Thanks again

Thanks...do you have Mexicola cultivar or other Mexican types ? 15° F for one hour is better than 25° F each night for 3 weeks....or no?
I guess you have very cold spell, but also period of high temperature even in Jan.

Anyway, is Mexicola more cold-hardy than other Mexican Cultivars ? Could you make comparison with other fruit trees? For example, after a very cold period have you observerd more damage in Mexicola or Lemon trees ? or Tangerine trees ? etc...

I tell you this, because here (in North Italy) there are microclimate where Lemons surive, others where LEmons suffer, but Tangerines don't have problem.....Olive can be grown without any problem etc..

If you do this kind of comparison (not only with temperature), I would better understant the limits for Avocado Mexicola....As I know here none has it, but because all people don't know it.

Thanks

I think Arctic Frost Satsuma has more or less the same hardiness of other Satsuma.....it's just a Marketing operation. Anyway i would choose Russian cultivar (es. Sori Satsuma)

Are you sure about temperature ??

What's about its cold hardiness ?

Asimina triloba...

Congratulation...I think fruits will tolerate light frost..if well covered you could harvest them in Feb

Congratulation...plant seems very healthy

In the Wild do Paw Paw trees reproduce by suckers? Somewhere i read that few trees can make a little bush sharing the same roots..is it true?
