      Mind Expanding In Consciousness I live in a cool temperate zone in Australia so I live in a cool area too. I mean it’s prob not as cold as where you live but it still gets quite chilly here as we are above sea level quite a lot which makes it colder too. I have some avo seedlings growing too and I’m going to try and grow a bacon avo tree and a few other cold hardy types. You should be able to grow them in a green house maybe? Or inside in winter time and then outside again for warmer seasons. But they take for ever to fruit from seed so it’s more of an experiment to me to see if they can survive the cold weather before spending a fortune at a nursery and getting some proper grafted trees.

I am trying to plant apple and plum trees this year because I know they can grow here but I can try again with avocado and maybe try this type you mention. I also constructed a small green house this spring but I built it for seedlings. I hope you do well with your seedlings.

    She mentioned managing scale: I have a universal spray for all problems. It is made from 1 gal. distilled water into which I place two silver wires attached to a 9 volt battery for 12 hours, in the dark. Use the water by adding to each quart 1 tbs. neem oil, & 1 tbs. Murphy's soap. Keep above 60 F and shake well. I generally water the leaves first, then spray liberally with silver/soap solution. It kills mold, insects, and plants look great. This has no damaging effect that I have ever seen, and the only real cost is the distilled water. You can just use plain water too, but don’t try to make it into a silver solution, and there will be less mold prevention. Hope this helps you. It is amazingly effective.

    Millenial Gardener was growing avocados in North Carolina and using Christmas lights and frost jackets to protect them from cold snaps in the winter, so yeah, they should be able to handle 1C. She should try banana passionfruits too, they're invasive in southern New Zealand, which can be rather cool during the winter and frequently flirts with the freezing mark. Sweet granadilla (p. ligularis) would probably suffer with those kinds of cool temperatures, they prefer soil temps of 10C+ I think. They can grow in Cusco (~12C daily means year-round) and Algarve (southern Portugal), but not in northern Portugal.

      Yes you sure can, I’m growing heaps of lemon trees via seed atm and all doing well and all germinated. I have them inside atm on window area but they will be going out soon as weather warms up. I live in cool temperate zone in Australia. The trick to germinating them for me was keep them warm and I germinated them in damp paper towel in a container sitting on top of fridge where it’s warm or on pc etc where it’s always warm. It’s winter here too so it gets so cold here where I live near Melbourne Australia but they can go outside soon as weather warms up in bigger tubs. I am hoping at least a few will have nice fruit. I am also getting some cuttings growing soon too so at least I know I will get fruit soon from them.
