      Wind can make it 5 to 10 degrees colder.
      Other options do greenhouses.
      Can do temporarily structures to keep it warmer.

    Or in winter, do you protect your plants in any way or move them indoors?

      Whenever we can, we overwinter plants in the pots inside the greenhouse. We have not done any papaya, however. I actually discovered one volunteered papaya which grew and survived the winter outdoor. Temperatures varies, on average our winter can be around 30 degree to lower 20 degree.

    I live in zone 8b also in East Texas. Your video gives me hope for some of my tropical fruit trees such as mangos, guava, Namwa banana (ice-cream banana). I did propagate pineapple also, but I let it die because I thought it wouldn't survive the weather. I am not germinating jackfruit and get beautiful seedlings which I plan to keep them in the pot for one year or so before I put them in the ground. Anyway, thank you for the video.

    is it possible that this banana was musa saba ??
    I would be interested in adding it to my collection of bananas, I have seeds of a variety of Mexican avocado that is very resistant to cold, it is self-fertile, it produces a lot of fruit and delicious and produces very fast
    Would you be interested in doing a plant exchange? I could send you seeds of this avocado in exchange for a banana shoot

    • @cultivatingorganicbyjomig1719
      @cultivatingorganicbyjomig1719  4 роки тому +1

      Area/zone is a big factor. Tropical plants do require lots of heat and sun. So I suggest this type of gardening for gardeners from zone 8 and up. Zone 7 might manage (and can be done to grow some,) however, lots of care and maintenance such as grow light, heater, green house etc. are needed to successfully grow them. A good friend and subscriber in UK actually grow several tropical pants/vegetable successfully in his polytunnel. I am in zone 8, however, I am still mindful of planting my tropical plants/vegetables where they can get the most exposure to the sun. Ideally facing south. Hope this help.

    Hello! I’m debating where to plant my moringa. North side of my front yard, where it would be more exposed (full sun but full wind, too, no winter warmth protection), except for my neighbors crêpe myrtle tree which I may have to cut back. Or I may plant it on the south facing side of my house between mine and my neighbors house but I only have about 6 feet of space there. How does it grow? Does it grow tall and vertical, or wide at the base? 🤔 Thanks!

    Nice video. Good luck with your project. Regarding the avocado tree, unfortunately the fruit is most likely to be inedible. Avocado seeds are not "true" so the only way to grow a Hass avocado, for example, is through grafting.

      I am doing very well, thank you. I am in Zone 8b My moringa dies back in winter but then comes back with vigorous growth in spring :-) I believe moringa should do likewise in your area. Tip: choose a location in your yard where the house or some kind of structure, bushes and trees can create a wind breaker/barrier from winter cold air.
