Sorry about that Sam! I have had to live with those realities too, in reverse- too hot and humid to grow some stuff well- apples and plums have been a real challenge, and Ribes are all still illegal in North Carolina, so no gooseberries, currants, or jostas for me.... Still, I am very thankful for the plants I can grow, and usually I have found something to fill every time of year that we can eat! Best of luck!

Greg

Oh no! Try corresponding with Lon R.- he has fruited jujube in Oregon, though I don't know if it was maritime, and might be able to help you! Might be you would need to pick your earliest cultivar, put it in a heat-absorbing pot in the most hot, sunny and punishing summer-like spot you have, with southern exposure and something to reflect heat onto the plant during the day and release some heat at night... just some thoughts. I know my jujubes have not liked being planted in less than the hottest and sunniest spot I have- they survived but never fruited if put in half-sun or a cooler spot. Sorry, but I hope there is still hope!

I have to face the facts.
Ron lives in a much hotter climate in the valley.
He can grow all sorts of stuff there.
He might even get away with some oranges or at least kumquats.
But not here.
