Paul Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I have some Jacaranda seeds (collected in Turkey); will they grow in Gard (Uzes)? Does this area have frosts in winter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardian Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Paul ............I don't know the plant / tree, but my RHS 'bible' says that it's frost tender, min 7C-10C.And yes, this area most certainly does have winter frosts. The overnight temp will regularly drop to -3C / -5C and lower is not uncommon.The only thing that makes me wonder is their Turkish origin - it's not exactly warm there in winter, is it?

Paul Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 Yes I think Turkey gets very cold in winter too. The Jacaranda has stunning blue flowers in summer and I found the info about not surviving frost on the net, but perhaps if the trees survive in Turkey they have adapted... I'll have a go and see what happens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
