Persimmons tolerate a wide variety of soils and climates. It likes a warm climate as they are native to Japan. They have a long tap root so once you plant it it will be difficult to move.

Yes, I think the tree would love it there. It is another question whether the seller will be able to ship it to Florida. Persimmons can carry the Asian citrus psyllid, which Florida authorities would understandably be more concerned about than the South Carolina ones were. I recall that when I bought this tree it had documentation that it had been inspected, but you might want to check that it's legal to import to your state.

I am not an expert, but I think you can. You just have to protect a young tree from the wind, strong sun, frost and freeze. I live in Tucson, AZ where there is a lot of strong wind so I build the fence around it and cover with burlap when need to. I hope this help.

at least 7. this is essentially a tropical plant. they grow well. anything under zone 7 will have to be brought in for the winter.

i use 9GreenBox as well, but quite pleased with Emerald Goddess Gardens in florida as well. they send plenty of plant info and care instructions.

I'm in zone 9--planted in July which was late, but they grew and produced. Probably early spring when planting other things would be good.

I'm probably not the best person to answer that question. Living in Ormond Beach, Florida, frost is generally not a problem for us. My suggestion is that you contact the Davidson family at DAS Farms who initially grew the tree. I believe they are located in Alabama. Their e-mail is dasfarmstn@yahoo.com. Hope you can get an answer. Joe Stock

Yes you can, mine did great last summer, but died during the winter. I will plant more this Spring and hope it will take hold better and live through the Winter. Good Luck

I'm not sure about growing wisteria in zone 5. I'm in Texas (zone 8,) and ours is growing very well. I imagine, if you were very dedicated, you could grow a wisteria as a bonsai inside... But on its own, wisteria gets big. It's not just a flowering vine; it can be tree-sized. The stem is very woody, and can become quite thick and strong. I don't think it would be happy inside. It needs to climb, and I've seen wisteria climb several stories into trees. The best advice is to carefully read the description of any plant you buy and choose for your zone. Wisteria isn't something that'd be easily brought indoors for the winter, either, since it is an aggressive climber. Perhaps if you had a back porch... Where the wisteria could climb, but you could warm and protect the plant inside the porch? Perhaps planted in a big container that you kept reasonably warm over the winter, on the porch, and allowing the outside ends of the vine to die off? The Black Dragon is okay in zones 6-9. Zone 5 gets too cold; I'm sorry. I don't think it would survive the first winter outside. Good luck!

Zone 10 is best to grow Tumeric. You still can plant in the pot at zone 7, but you must bring inside when is below 30F

In climate zones 9-11 they can be grown outdoors year round although they can become invasive so be aware of where you sow your seeds; any climate zone colder than 9 can be grown as an annual outdoors (or simply brought indoors for winter). They should tolerate average indoor room temperatures fine, just be sure to use soil which drains well that doesn't compact easily and have it where it can get lots of light with some direct sunlight.

Not sure myself about the zones nut I live in Colorado and my plant is healthy, but I keep mine indoors with plenty of light and away from frost.

I don't remember where I found the information but it's at least zone 5. It could be hearty enough for zone 4 but you'd have to check a resource to be sure.

Most certainly. I grow cold season annuals in mine in zone seven. It's too difficult to keep it the proper temperature for tender plants.

I am Zone 5a, in western new york, and I planned mine after last spring frost, for me it was May 15th. So Spring planting definitely. By Labor Day they were over 6 feet tall.

I am going to guess no . its most likely been growing outdoors and ship to you . I am in zone 5 borderline for 6 .if you grew it from seed then you must harden it off . I bought my last fall its just getting leaves now in my garden .its a late spring . enjoy your plant !

You can plant directly in this pot. It has a water reservoir at the bottom built in inside to prevent overwatering

depends where in texas you live, you can plant it in a large pot and move it in, at least for the first year or two
