Tropical Fruit Discussion / When to move my trees outside
« on: April 07, 2024, 08:02:56 AM »
Things have been warming up here in the Midwest (not without several snow events), and I am trying to figure out the best time to get the trees outside. The projected low is 40 degrees F at the most with day temps in the 70s. I definitely won’t be moving out things like cacao or soursop that are more tropical. I am wondering if it would be beneficial for some of my trees like starfruit, pitangatuba, peanut butter fruit tree and guava to go outside in a sheltered spot. Would this help harden them off for summer or just stress them out? I have a spot for them that receives minimal direct sun, and I can move them into more as time progresses. I just don’t want to have to lug them inside and outside over and over.
