We live in the Houston Gulf Coast area, approx. 60 miles from Gulf of Mexico. Can I plant the y,t & t plant now, or should I wait until Spring?

My YT&T; planting is in Central Florida. Survived Summer. Just starting to Bloom. Plant now should be okay in Houston. As in Florida...Sun means not direct sun.

Go ahead and plant it. You are probably warm enough for it to survive the winter. If there is going to be a cold snap I would cover it. We live in RI and bring it in during the winter.

I live in tampa and have a hedge about 4 ft tall. it blooms in sept/oct until about xmas at which time I trim about 2 ft off and shape it. it is in partial shade and thrives. my gut feel is if you plant now and protect it from cold you will be fine. GOOD LUCK

Sorry...I live in Hawaii...pretty much nice weather all year long. We don't really have seasons here. The plant did arrive in excellent condition.

I don't know how this plant will grow in the northeast, I am in Texas. Here it growsvery nice.

I heard about this and hear they reseed and grow easily in Mexico. They are in many Mexican recipes. I would think you would need a good hot summer season and a trellis situation. Save seeds and replant for warm season. Have not grown yet .

I don't know. The plants grow in the mountains of Japan, which are cool. My plants made it through aSan Francisco CA winter, with night temperatures a little below freezing.

Absolutely, plant them in San Diego. I retired from Fresno, Huntington Park and San Francisco Bay Area-California and it is hard to have anything not grow in California. These plants are very good growers and prolific. We saved the seeds from last year and are replanting lots more

I started cool weather seeds this week (lettuce,spinach,peas). I'll start other plants probably next week. I watch how cold it will get overnight. If it stays above 32, I figure most seeds will be ok. By the time the little shoots have started coming up, it will be staying warmer at night. I'll bring in geraniums and pansies in the next week or two. I've been in the greenhouse the past few evenings and it is still pretty warm. I always go by Zone 4 for Colo. And I always try to pick perennials that are native to this area. You can't go wrong with any of them. They take the cold weather better. It's always trial and error with these little grow house. Good luck and thanks for asking!

Depends on where you live, but I would wait until early next year (Feb/March). Grass doesn't grow well in the heat in general. I tried planting this last year in the summer and it didn't do much in the heat. When I planted it in Feb/March, it had enough time to take root before the heat hit in June and has been doing great.

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

I don't know if it will grow in Phoenix, but it does grow beautifully in Rockwall, TX. We are in zone 8. Going into it's second winter and looking good.

I don't know if it will grow in Zone 7 or not. I live in Zone 8 (north central Texas) and it is doing beautifully. I think it is certainly worth a try. If you want you can e-mail Kimberly Bell at Outsidepride and find out, she is very responsive to questions. If it were me I'd do it. You might try one pound in a test area. I believe that covers 3,000 sq ft. You will only lose $20 if it doesn't work.

I planted our tree in March (in central Texas) and it did great. If you protect it from any hard freeze you may have, I bet it will be fine to plant now.

Sorry, but I do not know. I am near Albany, NY, where we have cold winters. I bought my plant in late Summer and it grew tremendously. However, we brought it in the house for the first winter to give it a chance to develop a little more before we try leaving it out all year. Once we plant it outside, we plan to plant it near the house on the south facing side to give it the best chance of survival.

I think you can still plant it as it will grow as long as it's warm. Mine came up within 3 days of planting so it would still have all of August and September to grow. If you are in Texas like me, it will have October and part of November to grow. If you get some blooms, they will turn into seeds you can plant next year.

I live in the high desert (4000 ft.) and I planted in the early summer. Nurseries who sell these or any plants should let customers know when to plant certain plants. If I still lived in Sacramento, Ca. I would have planted this in the spring. Good luck...

I'm not sure I could be much help unfortunately mine died just after I got it but i think you can set it up in a nice warm environment so it doesn't get too cold you should be fine.. now transplanting it I wouldn't think you would be to do it immediately... I don't know the growth rate on this particular species I think you'd be fine until spring...
