Re: AeAe and Cold Tolerance
I have given some thought to the fabric greenhouse arrangement. I am going to put it parallel to the house on top of a rock garden with paving all around it. The south facing wall of the house will gather heat all day, as will the rocks and pavement. This should provide enough heat to keep the plants protected inside. They may not thrive in there, but I don't think I will lose them either. The less cold-sensitive plants will just have to tough it out where they are now, although I may move them onto the rocks next to the greenhouse to help them get a bit more sun. One of the AeAe's will be in the greenhouse, the other in the garage, just in case. This will be a test to ascertain which method is better for overwintering them here.
The only things I will take inside are the Siam Ruby, Dwarf Namwah Pearls, Cuban Red and a few real small banana plants that haven't had time to really get established.
They will be placed in the garage and brought outside during the warmer parts of the day for some sun.
