My attitude is one of "what the heck, let's try" with a lot of my
unusual (for here) plants. I got an Arebiqua olive to bloom and fruit
last year. That over winters in an unheated garage. I also have a
sequoia and a Joshua tree that I over winter inside in the basement or
garage or sometimes in the kitchen. Their weirdos are surprisingly
resilient to the various conditions to which I have subjected them.

Did I tell you I am growing a pomegranate from a seed pulled out of a
fruit a couple of years back? It's really happy spending summer
outside and winter in the kitchen. It has just leafed out the past few
weeks and it is looking mighty fine.

Thanks for interesting post. All I have is a kefir Lime which had
scale last year but none so far this. I have a sequoia growing outside
year round .

I've often wondered if I found a good, sheltered place, if I could
grow it outside. I got the seedling in Amador County, CA some years
ago. Yup have the advantage of a milder climate down there. How big is
the sequoia?


Your others look like a research to do.
We have a few bamboo begonias and a couple abulitions (Sp) flowering
now . Outside it is 47 f last week it was - 5 f.

Bill... still the hellebores are coming on. But Late.

Crazy weather that past few months.
