Default Re: Hello from the Frozen North

Unfortunately my basement is well insulated and seldom gets below 60 F.

While Edmonton is zoned at 3b, we live well into the city and our temperature is higher. Between urban heating and the microclimates that I have, with the exception of 7 days in the past 5 years my climate is zone 5a.

Over the next 5 years I will be covering the palms with taller and taller enclosures so that eventually I may be able to maintain a temperature of 35 F in the enclosure throughout the winter.

About how long does it take Rajapuri to go from first new leaf formation in spring to fruit harvest in the fall?
