The tree is not cold-hardy below 15 degrees (not a problem so far, that's for sure). He recommends completely mummifying the thing with burlap and topping it off with an upside-down bucket so air can circulate but so that water stays out. Re: plastic "Do not use a single sheet of plastic as it will be like placing the plant in a closed up greenhouse, particularly on a sunny day." Thanks again Pirl. |
