I live in Ocean County, New Jersey. Can I plant this tree outside and will it survive the winter?

I live in VA near the coast, and for the last two years I have had my planted in a pot and I have put it in the garage for the late fall and winter.

I don't know if it will be winter hardy. I potted mine and keep it in the house during the winter and it sits on my front porch during the warmer months. I do know that with keeping it indoors it fruits all year round. Sorry, I couldn't specifically answer your question.

No, you would need to bring it inside for the winter and place in front of a sunny window.

I had to throw it away as it was shipped with a bacterial fungus. I reported the issue to both Amazon and the shipper and they never resolved the issue, so I disposed of the tree. They never followed the guarantee of 3 years.

According to all the plant books I have read the Hardiness Zone for Central Maryland has been listed as: 4 - 9 (-20 degrees F). Yes, you should be able to grow this plant in your area. The plant is prone to root rot if planted in too moist soil. Plant in well drained, neutral to alkaline soil, in a sunny area. Plant can withstand some foot traffic, but not much. I wouldn't make a habit of walking on it.

Pot it and keep it inside until there is no chance of frost. After it has a good root system, it should survive winters just fine.

I am in South Carolina, and our temps drop too low in the winter. You might be successful if you are able to keep it indoors through the colder season, which this tree is supposed to make a good ornamental tree, and do well indoors. you can find instructions online how to do this. :-)

I planted it in Spring and it showed a good growth. Then came the Arctic vortex last winter. I thought it was dead and pulled it out and throw in the container of a different tree I planted in its spot. I recognized new growth late summer and plant it to a new spot. I covered new growrh with straw this time. It seems OK after 2 early strong frosts in Tennessee. I cross my fingers. This is a tough little thing I really do not know how to answer. If you do not have strong frosts in your region, it may be good for root growth without stressing the tree.

All bonsai do better outdoors. You can keep it inside for a day at max, if you wish to display it. Don't place it near vents. Anyway, I'd advise against getting this particular tree. I recommend juniper.

I am in northern CT, i am not trying it. i will try it next year with a cutting, i would advise the same as i think it will be too risky. i have also heard stories of people with outdoor trees, not neccisarily this variety, digging a hole once their tree is established in the ground, and bending it over and burying it before winter comes producing new shoots/growth in spring

It is a tree and should survive texas heat. They are shipped from Florida so similar weather. Sad to say my tree did not survive. I think it was something I did though because the tree was very healthy when I got it. I don't think it got enough water. Hope this helps

You would probably have to get several Dalen row covers to cover the tree completely and find someway to attach the edges and ends. Then you would only raise the temperature by about 15 degrees over the outdoor temperature. If you need to raise the temperature more than 15 degrees, you can do a google search re protecting the tree from frost. I know that people in northern climates safely overwinter fig and other tender trees planted in the ground and that information is available online. Good luck!

I live in Glendale, Southern California. This plant should be put in a place that you know for sure is where you would like it. It Does Not like to be transplanted or even moved and will show you resentment. It had a Fit when I moved it and had a setback. It likes dappled sun or half day sun, half day shade. Don't over water, but don't let the soil dry out. It is very important to Not let it be in direct sun all day in summer or during a heat wave because the leaves will burn. Best of the best tree I ever bought.

You need to goggle the type of tree you have. Then find out the zone it is tolerant in. Just like any plant they tolerate a maximum temperature and a minimum temperature. Living here in California the shrub does well. So for instance if you live where the temperature gets below the plant tolerance you need to bring it in. Remember when you bring it in does not mean it will do well. You might need some natural light or heat on it. The internet can tell you exactly what your plant needs including water. Good Luck

Yes , but it has to be indoor for the firs two years let it mature then after two years on the second week of spring you can plant it outside and you still need to put a temporary clear plastic canopy for the next two months until your tree get use to the weather and temperature that's what I did to my second guyabano tree the first one I plant it outside after less than a year without cover and it didn't survive,and I tried it again now I got a healthy 3 yr. old guyabano tree outside and I still do put a canopy on it during winter.Hope it will help.

It's the Laurus nobilis; in a mild climate, it can be left outdoors in the winter (if protected from a freeze), but otherwise should be brought inside during winter months. In our zone 10, it's planted in the yard and has reached 8-10 ft. high by 4-5 ft. wide in 10 years. Potted, it will stay smaller.

in freezing weather outdoors over it with a 30gal plastic trash bag before it hits your area and tie off the bottom plastic trash bag near the trunk of the tree or take indoors if you can is best option place it near a window were it get sun light

I have mine free standing and it has survived a lot of wind this winter! However I did add extra metal stakes to hold it down (purchased at the hardware) and put heavy rocks where the base goes into the ground, front and back, just to be sure. Now if the plant would have grown last year!

No. It is a "living natural tree" which is "miniaturized" (if you bought to "bonsai" it), thus, must be kept in a cool/cold environment (outside). It is NOT a houseplant. It is a deciduous plant and will stay dormant for about 3 months during the winter season. You can keep it in your garage if you must - away from strong wind. since it is "dormant", it will not require much light.

I would recommend you plant them in a 1 gallon pot and set them outside for the summer. I would then plant after the last frost has passed in early spring. They should be placed about 10 feet apart and should NOT be by any water source such as a septic leach lines as the roots will travel and plug them up. These trees are beautiful and I receive a lot of compliments. They do loose their leaves and the wood itself is hollow inside. Good Luck and enjoy!
