I live in high Desert Nevada. We can get up to 20 below in the winter. We do have wild cactus that will grow here. Will these survive?

:Mine did well at +15 but I can't say about that cold. The problem is they are randomly selected from 60 species. You don't know what you will get. I wouldn't risk it.

We don't have as cold weather as you do, so I really can't say. Thy re pretty little Cactus, but I have a greenhouse that I winter mine in. Maybe you could keep them in a window in the winter and put them out side in the summer. I wish you luck no matter which way you go. Margaret

I'm in zone 6, and my plant is thriving. It's survived three winters of unusual cold and winter precipitation, but I'm not sure about zone 5.

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 no expert on these fire morels but I have never been able to get them to grow at my home here in south eastern Idaho. They grow wild here without a problem but after ten years of trying, many kits from many providers I now officially quit. I would think that if they grow in the wild where you live then they would grow around your yard but that has not been my experience. Good luck

Ulla, I have grown these in pots so I can bring them inside in the winter. I wouldn't keep them out when the temperatures are consistently below 45.

I just planted mine last fall, and since it has been surviving a record- breaking cold PA winter, I would think that crabgrass won't stop it from growing!!

I live in Sussex County, NJ and bought these cacti last year. I have them in a terrarium and they are thriving. they have almost doubled in size and I had to take some out because it was becoming crowded (gave them to a friend's daughter; she has them in a planter in her room and they are doing very well). As long as you do not place them near a draft and keep them warm, they will grow and thrive.

I live in Utah and it is too cold here to plant them outside. I have grown several indoors. I put them out in the summer and in a very bright room with indirect sunlight in the winter. They have to be trimmed, but bloom for quite a while inside. That's what I intend to do with these.

I would advise you to keep in pots and bring them in in the winter.cactus don't like wet feet either. They need be on the dry side.

I don't know because I'm in zone 6. Also mine are looking dead in the winter I don't even know they will be alive in spring or not.

I never made it through the summer so I don't know. I am going to try again though. I don't think it is heat but I don't think the roots can get to cold either. It is comfortable in the mountains and gets cold but it needs flowing water and the roots need to be in the thick mud I think to protect the roots until established. Of course I'm probably the wrong one to ask as I killed my plants, but hey, I can have an opinion can't I? I would definitely try it, don't let me scare you off. Thanks, Sean

In the US it will depend which ones you get, and where you reside. In the southern states we still must bring them inside while they are dormantSome can become a bigger shrub, but most tree like may grow about 10 feet tall. In areas where a freeze does not normally occur, you still need to keep them in a large pot,

They would survive indoors if they had exposure to plenty of sun or light. In or near a window that gets plenty of sun. Don't over water because they are a cactus and too much will create root rot.

I live in the panhandle of FL. The temperature here my drop to the low 20's at times. This past winter was extremely cold and we even had enough ice to close down schools. The plant faired well through it all and is doing fine. When I received it the top broken from the transport and I was worried the damage would possibly kill it. My fuyu seems to be doing fine so far and I hope to be seeing fruit next year. I don't believe you will have any issues with it in Ca. Good luck.

Is the EasyBloom heat tolerant? I mean Las Vegas 110+ degree all day summer sun. I'm getting tired of planting rosemary and I don't like cacti. Most of the nurseries here get stuff that's for full sun in CA.

I have had luck with the seeds I have planted so far, and live in the Texas panhandle where we experience high winds coupled with extreme temperature swings. I am sure that with the number of varieties included, you are going to find something that will grow extremely well in your climate. I like to also try to create a micro-climate for other varieties to get them to flourish best.

I planted them in indoor containers. They're pretty fragile so far. They are not "bushy" as the picture shows. Mine are single stalks with a triangular leaf at the top. I thought they would grow like the ones in the picture but so far that's not the case. I guess if I bunched them all together they would look like the picture. I'm pretty sure snow would kill them. I didn't realize they could be an outdoor plant until my sister pointed it out to me from a description she read. I suppose you could try. Good luck!!
