Hi Everyone,
Is there anyone here even slightly familiar with this tree? I'm interesting in trying to grow one, and there is precious little information online. What I do know is that it grows in Nepal and Tibet, is known to be incredibly adaptable and tolerant to all kind of soil and drought, and even to salt. While it has a recorded low temperature tolerance of 90 degrees F, there are some who say it can tolerate lower temps than that if care is taken and the sapling is protected the first several years until it is established - after that it's very difficult to harm the tree. There appears to be some evidence that it can indeed tolerate my climate zone considering some of the regions it is known to grow...
I am also looking for information on growing and protecting warmer climate trees in colder climates. I know it's possible for many plants if care is taken, but I don't know a lot about it. If anyone can give me some pointers or link me to any relevant threads I would appreciate the assistance. I have been searching and reading for some time, and will continue to, but any direct advice from people here I would value highly over general web searches.
Thanks in advance for any time and assistance.
