Why did you have such huge tree potted to begin with? We have some big plants as well but they need to stay movable so they can be carried inside for the winter.

But Mr. Bear, we have this neat thing called gulf stream. And inside a city. USDA zone 7b. It rarely ever gets below -10°C, we can easily grow peaches, almonds, apricots. The problem for peaches is the cool moisture in early spring that makes Taphrinia leaf curl grow.

Neighbors here have Loquats and that hardy banana (Musa basjoo). They survive but bear no fruit.

Citrus doesn't work, they need to go inside. Our lemon will flower soon.

I'm still hoping for climate change but those Siberian cold spells like the one coming now will always be a problem.
