Someone asked how cold it gets here in Texas. Dallas Ftworth area. Generally speaking we have Nov , Dec , Jan and a bit of February in which the temperatures will dip below freezing at times. Usually 3 weeks is the most that we will see both day and night temps stay below freezing. It's so hard to tell, our weather here is so unpredictable. Forinstance last week we had ice and sleet with temperatures around 28. Tonight it will be 60 deg. Tomorrow it might drop to 40....then 30 the folowing night. I REALLY appreciate the advice yall have given me!! I have come to the conclusion that I will eventually have to build a greenhouse of sorts. Possibly a cold storage. I have kept The ELM , The SNOWROSE and the JUNIPERS alive for 7 years thus far bringing them in and out all winter (someone had asked how long I had been doing this) All 5 trees are over 20 years old. There were roughly 15 years old when I bought them. Like I said I have added a FOREST of over 15 more trees bringing my total to 22. I have also succesfully propogated 3 snow rose (from cuttings) and 3 fukien Teas (also from cuttings). It's a lot of fun!!

Thx Russ
