Cold Hardy Citrus / Re: Variegated Poncirus
« on: March 06, 2019, 01:00:19 PM »
Florian This link gives you the answer.
Unfortunately in French.

http://www.fruitiers-rares.info/articles63a68/article67-semis-Poncirus-trifoliata-et-variete-monstrosa.html

So I allow myself to quickly translate the most important.
The origin of this is genetic but most often the influence of a fungus Aspergillus flavus and Alternaria tenuis present on the seed coat.

For Lebmung:
All the fruit looks for species to be grown outside without protection.

For All the fruit:
It's not the most important thing to look at the climate.
Because a plant resistant to-15 ° at us will also resist to-15 ° at your home.
Except Opuntia for example who does not like the humidity factor.
It's the rusticity that you have to look at.
The more rustic species will grow while other not.
The Asimina can grow in Spain it is true but also in England because its hardiness allows.
Poncirus etc... Also.
Then there are microclimates created by some factor like the city center better protect or countryside less protect as at home.

The climate or the hardiness zone is only for information because then several factors must be taken into account.
The humidity, the nature of the soil etc...
For example Opuntia will grow in zone 8 see 7 for some species if there is no moisture when it is not able to grow in zone 9 if there is too much moisture.

To better see it in your search, can you give us the most negative temperature you have at home usually?
This will help to know which exotic plant are rustic enough to grow or that would be possible to try.

Near La Rochelle.

For the plants you're talking about:
Poncirus ( -15°see more ) , Olea etc, it is normal finally depending on the species and temperatures of your climate.
Remains that these are not really tropical trees (not like the mango Tree for example).
Ficus Carica has been cultivating for a long time in France.
In reality it is that in the same family for example Annonaceae..
The Asimina are for temperate climate and Annona is more for tropical climate.
Although Asimina does exotic in Europe it is far from being tropical (resists-20 °)
Then some plants become more resistant to cold by grafting, case of mandarins on Poncirus.
All these exotic plants are for temperate climate in the final according to the species see the horticultural technique used grafting and hybridization (to broaden the area of cultivation of some species)

I'll take pictures soon to give you an idea.

Hi
I am in France but my climate is similar to your.
Must be able to grow.
Citrus Junos Yuzu
Capitata Butia Palm tree
Asimina Triloba
Feijoa
With protection of stump Passiflora edulis.
If the climate is not too humid:
Some Opuntia ficus .
In areas not too cold:
Possible Orange (bitter orange) some can withstand up to-9 °.
To test:
Citrange Benton, Citrange Morton ( -12° ).

You are already a few names of tropical fruit trees possible.

Temperate Fruit Discussion / Re: Annonaceae that are temperate

If the plants are potted, the roots are more fragile in the cold.
Your A. Stenophylla was he potted or in soil NateTheGreated?

If A. Stenophylla took 5 ° Celsius in Pot, then maybe in soil with mulch it would not have had a problem of recovery for this temperature.
Does it have the power to bloom on the branches of the year (newly released from the Earth by the rhizomes) in the same way as the fig trees or not?

Because in this eventuality it can be interesting to prune and spread mulch during the cold season.
See cover the trunk pruning with a protection.

Hello, my name is Joffrey and I'm French.

First of all excuse my English I still have gaps to complete.

I usually graft, fruit trees, ornamental trees etc.
For two years I have been researching the adaptation of tropical trees by grafting or by culture process.

I hope to increase my knowledge of tropical fruit with you.
